yeah I have had the same issue, tried with non - xen and infact ubuntu as well, NIC has stopped working on Linux completely while works absolutely fine on Windows. BTW I have a dual boot.

The b44 module is known not functional with xen kernels (it won't work if you use 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen and previous kernels) For reference please have a look at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/208242 One user complains that the b44 module still doesn't work for him with Dell Inspiron 6000 with the new kernel containing the fix: http://people.redhat.com/sct/packages/kernel/kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sct/ even though it works almost for all other notebooks with Broadcom (HP in my case) so it seems like the whole Dell Inspiron series is somehow special..
