The network module (driver) for that NIC is bcm5700.o
Put bcm5700.o into /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc
Then do:
--------------
insmod bcm5700
--------------

The only problem is that your NIC is fairly new and
the bcm5700.o module is not in the BL3 module collection.
It will need to be compiled from the Broadcom source
package.  According to the Broadcom FAQ, the bcm5700.o
module will work with a 2.2 kernel.  But first it must
be compiled.  Hopefully, someone here will compile it
for you (and we will add it to the BL3 collection).

Cheers,
Steven
