FC6 thinks my Broadcom 440x 10/100 is a wireless card (it's wired!): How do I fix?

Folks,

I am trying to set up Fedora Core 6 on a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.
It is a dual boot system with XP Pro and FC6.

After a fresh install, the Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller
(this is what XP calls it) will not activate. This is a wired
controller.

If I go into /Administration/Networking, it identifies eth0 as a

Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX

controller. On the hardware tab, it shows the controller with status
of ok. However, on the first tab it says that the controller is not
activated. When I try to activate it, I get the following error:

Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A)
Set failed for device eth0; No such device

Anybody have any suggestions? Usually, I have never had any problem
with Fedora/Redhat recognizing and configuring properly a wired network
controller. But I guess there is always a first...

What puzzles me it that I looked on the web, and this controller has
been around for a few years, so I would think the Fedora drivers would
be stable for this controller.

I guess for right now I will try to get my wireless working. But my
experience has been that is never easy as well.

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
