Funny, I just installed my new inspiron 9400 with FC6 x86_64 and it also
installed the XEN kernel. However, for some reason it could not find the 
ethernet device. Then b44 module just reported an error.

Nov  8 19:51:07 localhost kernel: b44.c:v1.01 (Jun 16, 2006)
Nov  8 19:51:07 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ
 17
Nov  8 19:51:07 localhost kernel: b44 0000:03:00.0: No usable DMA configuration, aborting.
Nov  8 19:51:07 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
Nov  8 19:51:07 localhost kernel: b44: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -5


After installing a 'normal' kernel the network came up fine (as it did when
installing FC6 over the net).
