I got the bcm570 driver and built it.  When I try to load it with 
insmod, it fails to load with:

Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o: init_module: No 
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

Any ideas?

TIA
