How do I totally get rid of bcm43xx on my machine ?

I used ndiswrapper for years.  When fc6 came out, I decided to switch to
bcm43xx.  Lately it became unstable.  I wish to install ndiswrapper
again.  I uninstalled bcm43xx in that I did an rpm -e and I blacklisted
it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.   I've also deleted any devices and
hardware that references eth1 (my wireless card) in
system-config-network.

However, I get this:

/etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0:  eth1: error fetching interface
information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
External network device eth1 is not ready. Aborting..[  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0...eth1: error fetching interface
information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
External network device eth1 is not ready. Aborting..
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
External network device eth1 is not ready. Aborting..
 done.                                               

Why is the network process still looking for eth1 ?

Thanks
