Hi, Just to summarize my efforts on this so far. I am trying to configure a Broadcom 4401 ethernet card in a Dell laptop (Inspiron 9100). One of the laptop sites suggests that I replace the B44 module with the TG3 module to make the network card work. It has been suggested that I edit modprobe.conf and modules.conf then run depmod -a. I have no problem editing these files as root but I still have no luck on connecting to my home lan. If I go into MCC and check the network card it says that it is still using the B44 module. Mikkel suggests that there is another file that must be edited for the 2.6 kernels.
