Dell Inspiron 1501 ethernet driver and Fedora Core 6 issues

Dell website does not have 64 bit broadcom ethernet 4401 driver for AMD Turion 64 laptop (Insipron 1501), this driver can be downloaded from broadcome website directly: http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php

There are similar issues (not as critical) with model and chipset drivers which I suppose have to be downloaded from OEM vendors directly.

Fedora core 6 64bit seems to have a problem with the SATA hard drive used, this needs further investigation.
