Hi, I did exactly as you have written. I even reinstalled from scratch using the snapshot I had downloaded last night.
Both during the installation AND after a boot from the installed kernel I get the same error message, but the time it takes to time out is much less now. The same error message can be seen also when after the boot the OS tries to initialize the NIC with appropriate IP parameters. Good news is that afterwards the NIC works at normal speed!!

Ok. Try this. Power-off you machine, unplug the cable from the network card and boot the machine with the latest -current snapshot. Look for "firmware handshake" error message. It seems like that Broadcom network cards, if not initialized properly (this could've happened when you booted 3.8), have to be re-initialized properly in order to function again. This happened on my IBM e326m and the above approach solved the problem.
