Looking at Dell's website, it's unclear what the wired NIC is. They use
the euphemistic "10/100/1000 Gigabit" description, which is almost
useless.
The wireless is EITHER an Intell PRO 3945A/G OR the Dell 1490. I don't
think FC3 (or FC5 for that matter) has drivers for those. You probably
need to use the Windows drivers under ndiswrapper. See
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net
for details on that. As to the wired NIC, do an "lspci -v" and see what
ethernet controllers you have. We can advise you better that way.

I am using a Dell Latitude D820 with FC5. The wired network card is:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 01cc
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 90
Memory at dcef0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Wireless network card from Dell True Mobile 1394:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 4311 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0007
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 177
Memory at dcffc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Hope this helps. I know the old Latitude 600m that I have worked with
the wired network card with FC3 and it is was also a Broadcom card.
