Copy the following code into a new file in /etc/init.d (let's say /etc/init.d/broadcom-fix): #!/sbin/runscript description=3D"Reload broadcom and tg3 modules to work around kernel bug"= depend() { before net after modules } start() { ebegin "Reloading broadcom and tg3 modules" modprobe -r broadcom tg3 && modprobe broadcom && modprobe tg3 eend $? "Failed to reload modules" } Make it executable (chmod 755) and add it to the default run level (rc-update add broadcom-fix default). Better try to start it manually before rebooting so you can be sure it works as expected.
