I got a computer with this integrated onto the motherboard and I can't get it to recognize the network card, when I go the internet setup menu and try to define a new ethernet connection, and choose the broadcom card and activate it, it gives me the error message 3c501 not present or unable to find etc.

Can anyone help?

I have found the latest linux drivers just now on Broadcom's site here:

be sure to scroll down to download the drivers for the correct card

Sounds like the system is misdetecting your card for some reason - 3c501 is the module for ancient 3Com cards, and certainly not what you should be using. Download those Broadcom drivers from the site, and install them according to the directions. If the system still wants to use 3c501, try adding the following to /etc/modules.conf:

alias eth0 modulename

...filling in the module name appropriately, of course.
