If you have more than 1Gb of RAM on your system, there is a known bug.

A replacement b44 module (to be compiled) is available at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118165

The tarball towards the end of the comments (#55) will work, but note
the directions closely pertaining to modifying:

/lib/modules/YOUR_KERNEL/build/include/linux/pci_ids.h

I had this problem on my Dell 5150 laptop (with 2Gb of RAM). This new
module works.

HTH,
