I unemerged the bcm4400 driver. The kernel driver is b44. I verified that it was built and installed in /lib/modules/xxx/kernel/drivers/net/b44.o & I can insmod it.
?? It's still not working, so I must be missing something. How do I get this configured, so that I can bring up my network interface correctly?

well, the ebuild says: "Driver for the bcm4400 gigabit card (in the form of kernel modules)." so do you have a gigabit ethernet card or just a 10/100?
I have a 10/100 bcm4400 and it works with the in-kernel driver (did not even know there was an ebuild...) that one works for both 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.
The LiveCD boots up fine with dhcp & the bcm4400 module loaded & used.
My /etc/config/net says:
iface_eth0="dchp"
everything else is commented.
I used 'genkernel' to build my kernel. I'm starting to think the kernel
needs something.
my suggestion is: unmerge the bcm4400 packages and try the in-kernel bcm4400 driver.
