eth0 problems


Okay, so the other day i was trying to get ndiswrapper working for my Dell Truemobile 1300 wireless card, and after quite a while, i finally was able to get it to recognize that i do have a wireless card (i dont remember exactly what i did) but i couldnt get on any websites, it would merely recognize the speed and name of the network, but nothing more.
So, getting frustrated i messed with settings i probably shouldnt have (my name says it all i hope) and now it tells me that there is no such device as ndiswrapper, and i'm using a friends computer to write this, because i somehow managed to disable my ethernet as well. To be honest, i dont have a clue what i did, and ive been doing most everything through the GUI, using both KWiFiManager, and "Network Device Control" (is that a KDE thing, or GNOME? Ive been consistantly using KDE, but have GNOME as well)
I would love to give more information, but alas, i dont even know what would be good to tell you!


my machine is as such:
Fedora 3 on a Dell Inspiron 5100
Pentium 4 2.66
256 DDR RAM (yeah, i know...)
Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T
Dell Truemobile 1300 (with ndiswrapper)

Thanks for checking out my problem

Okay, so here is a little more information that will hopefully do some level of good..
(i'm transcribing this from my laptop onto a desktop, so my apologies for any typos)

Code:
[zax@localhost network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
HWADDR=00:0d:56:aa:56:2a
[zax@localhost network-scripts]$ cat ifcfg-lo
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, 
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
so i'm not really sure what the ifcfg-lo was, which is why i put it on here.. this help anyone more than it helps me?

lo is the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) and probably not related to what's happening here. First off, can you tell us the results of ifconfig -a done at a command line (if you get "command not found", try /sbin/ifconfig -a).

Okay, so here is what the ifconfig -a told me: (again, my apologies for any typos)
