Could it be because i installed 11.04? the releases on that page
doesn't show 11.04.

On a different laptop with 11.04, when i do:
$: sudo find /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/ -name *bcm*

**output**

/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/net/can/can-bcm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/bcm
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/bcm/bcm_wimax.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bcm203x.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/phy/bcm63xx.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/bcm5974.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/bcm3510.ko

I dont think it has the 5700's ethernet driver.
