Network Card not functioning after Vista upgrade

After performing an upgrade from Windows XP SP2 to Vista Small Business,
internet connectivity was maintained for a few restarts then ceased. After
working with Vista Tech Support for a couple of hours yesterday to rectify
the problem, the Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller was identified as
the culprit. Dell confirms the model as 5751. Broadcom have not posted any
updated drivers for Vista and have a fairly impenetrable wall around their
Tech Support. Can anyone suggest a work-around or is anyone aware of an
updated driver?
