When you ran the 'modprobe b44' command did you do it as root?
Like: sudo modprobe b44 and with out the quotes.
Or you can:
su -
[password]
modprobe b44
----------------------------------
Make sure the it loaded or not.
lsmod | grep b44
If nothing comes up then:
sudo lspci -v
and look for your card and the last line before the next card should say what driver it is using.

Mine looks like this with other cards before and after it. Tell us what the results of those commands are.
