I thought it was a Fedora issue but I tried Opensuse 10.2 running Xen
on the same machine and it had the same problem. Next to it, I had a
Dell Dimension 4400 desktop running FC 6 with Xen, accessing the
Internet just fine.

Do you also have Dell Inspiron? Do I understand it correctly that the
network didn't work for you even with non-xen kernels?

Have you tried to use non-xen kernel? 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...
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..
