FC6 on Dell Inspiron 6000 - Broadcom 440X Ethernet Card...

[Guillermo de Jesús Hoyos Rivera (gmail)]

    Hello Listers:
 
        I have just installed FC6 on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop.
 
        In the previous versions of FC I have never had problems for using
my Ethernet card (a Broadcom 440X), and connecting to the network. However
in this new version, when I try to activate the network interface I get the
next error message:
 
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A)
Set failed on eth0; No such device
Setting IP information for eth0... failed
 
        The problem is that eth0 is not a wireless card, but a wired one
(10/100TX), and I have not arrived to figure out which could be the problem.
 
        I have not yet tried to configure my wireless card (a Intel
ProWireless 2200 BG), but I will do it tomorrow.
 
        Does someone of you have any advice on how to solve this problem?
 
        Thanks in advance and best regards.
