Broadcom BCM57780 is unsupported by linuxboot, due to a bug in the Linux kernel (even as recent as 2.6.34)

There was a bug filed for this against RedHat [1]. As mentioned in the bug, the solution is a series of patches [2][3][4]. I built my own linuxboot iso (see the other thread, "linuxboot problems") with these patches, and all is well, now!

I'm testing this on a Dell Zino HD. This solves the ethernet problem in the Linux boot disk, but now I have another problem with nt5x-install doing *nothing* after the first reboot. Strange.
