Problem loading ethernet module from liveusb

i'm currently running archlinux x86_64, but i'm interested in seeing if slitaz will boot up/ run faster. I mostly only browse the web/type up text these days so i'm really looking for whatever can boot up+connect to the internet the quickest. I made a liveusb with unetbootin and already installed it on virtualbox in arch, that works fine, and seems promising, but when i boot the live usb from my pc's bios ,it doesn't load my ethernet module.

lspci | grep [Ee]th produces this :

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation

NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)

08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation

BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

the netbox manager only shows the loopback module, not the ethernet one

how would i go about getting eth0 to show ?

I found a fix

open up a terminal, su (root password)

rmmod tg3

modprobe broadcom

modprobe tg3

in the ethernet netbox manager tab click the start button

presto!
