I've searched around the forum for a thread about this and can't seemed to find 1.
If you could help....
I can't get eth0 to come up on boot...How can I load the driver on boot?
I have to run:

Try adding the name of the module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 and run (as root) rc-update add net.eth0 default : that will start net.eth0 at boot

The gentoo handbook has the stuff necessary to get networking added to the booot sequence and this should show you how to make the module load automatically (it's at the very bottom of the page). Good luck

I tried that. It tries to load both on boot but says error. ..

Did you put bcm4400 or bcm4400.o in the autoload file? The file extension should not be there. Please post the output of dmesg relevant to the loading of the module if the entry was correct.
