Fedora, by nature, is more leading edge, less stable than the regular Red Hat stuff. We tend to forget that. Yes, I think updating or upgrading it can do that. Hope you backed up your stuff before. Maybe "un-yumming" can bring the functionality back?

On my dell inspiron 1505, NIC had worked fine, it stopped working all of a sudden, couldnt really predict any reason.
What was I doing? --- Was trying for maximum plugins thru yum, guess yum"ing" did this, can this ?

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.fc...
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..

oh yes, I wrote the stuff back to DVD and reimaged my machine, anyways i wanted to. I have liked using fedora but no-internet is stopping me from doing that.
Wondering why I am not able to enable NIC to work on different flavor as well!!
