Problem with NON-Wireless network card

Hi,

Since I updated the kernel on my Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook running FC6 
to release 2.6.22.1-15.fc6, my wired network card, a BroadCom BCM4401 
100Base-T, is no longer found.  Under previous kernel, which I still 
have installed, it finds this card and configures eth0 to use it.  
There's also a wireless card but I haven't had the time to get it 
working since upgrading from FC3 to FC6.  It was using ndiswrapper and 
configured for device wlan0 before, but it seems like that might no 
longer be necessary.  Anyway, there is no wireless service where I am 
and my wired card is not detected.  Since it is not in the hardware list 
in the network configuration utility, I cannot configure it manually.  
How can I make FC6 detect my card?

Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
