Ok, I have determined that my problem lies in user-land, not the kernel. Using the same kernel, but with a more elaborate start-up scripts/root filesystem (those from DENX ELDK-1.0) it works fine. Using my minimal rootfs, with busybox, tinylogin, it doesn't work. Is there anything needed to get the broadcom 5703 going besides ifconfig? Well, I now have a root filesystem that works and one that doesn't so I can slowly make one more like the other until I see which piece is the culprit/magic.
