Ethernet cards that plug into PCI or similar internal slots are not very expensive usually. If you do have a card and not something onboard, I would recommend replacing it. Broadcom hardware does tend to be a bit of a pita on some Linux distributions. Wifi is the worst, but ethernet can be problematic as well.
