My server is a Dell PowerEdge T105 with Debian 5.0 Lenny.
My network card is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express.
I've plugged the card innside my server and I can see it is detected with this command:
Now if I run ifconfig, I only have eth0 and eth1. But my new card is the 3rd one so it should appear as eth2. How can I make it happen? Should I install some drivers?

BWI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BWI(4)NAME
bwi -- Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device bwi
device wlan
device wlan_amrr
device firmware
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_bwi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The bwi driver provides support for Broadcom BCM43xx based PCI/CardBus network adapters.
It supports station and monitor mode operation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configur-
ing this device, see ifconfig(8).
This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. The ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod port needs to be installed before
ifconfig(8) will work.
HARDWARE
The bwi driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:
Card Chip Bus Standard
Apple Airport Extreme BCM4306 PCI b/g
Apple Airport Extreme BCM4318 PCI b/g
ASUS WL-138g BCM4318 PCI b/g
Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S BCM4318 CardBus b/g
Buffalo WLI-PCI-G54S BCM4306 PCI b/g
Compaq R4035 onboard BCM4306 PCI b/g
Dell Wireless 1470 BCM4318 Mini PCI b/g
Dell Truemobile 1400 BCM4309 Mini PCI b/g
HP nx6125 BCM4319 PCI b/g
Linksys WPC54G Ver 3 BCM4318 CardBus b/g
Linksys WPC54GS Ver 2 BCM4318 CardBus b/g
TRENDnet TEW-401PCplus BCM4306 CardBus b/g
US Robotics 5411 BCM4318 CardBus b/g
EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 inet 192.168.0.20
netmask 0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'':
ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net up
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwi0 ssid my_net
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
