1 If this instalation was used in another machine, or you have another net device,
2 udev can be putting your broadcom as another number (eth2, ...)
3
4 Try
5 ifconfig -a
6 or
7 ip addr
8 to get all interfaces on your system
9
10 If the problem is the wrong id on eth, remove
11 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
12
13 And udev will recreate automaticaly again.
