Hi,
Since I updated the kernel on my Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook running
FC6 to release 2.6.22.1-15.fc6, my wired network card, a BroadCom
BCM4401 100Base-T, is no longer found. Under previous kernel, which I
still have installed, it finds this card and configures eth0 to use
it. There's also a wireless card but I haven't had the time to get it
working since upgrading from FC3 to FC6. It was using ndiswrapper and
configured for device wlan0 before, but it seems like that might no
longer be necessary. Anyway, there is no wireless service where I am
and my wired card is not detected. Since it is not in the hardware
list in the network configuration utility, I cannot configure it
manually. How can I make FC6 detect my card?
Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

First as root in a terminal type lspci and from the list should be
your Ethernet card. Write down what it is called. It is kind of ODD that
FC6 didn't auto-detect your ethernet thing. My old ethernet is always
picked up. If you don't find it in the lspci list then your in for
replacing the ethernet hardware.
