This explains the Issue I reported previously with Dell Inspiron B120 I reported with F13-BetaRC4

Hi, everyone. We're looking at pulling kernel-2.6.33.1-24.fc13 into Fedora 13 Beta, quite late, because current Beta candidate builds include kernel-2.6.33.1-19.fc13 which is known to include a severe bug that breaks boot on systems with Broadcom wired ethernet adapters supported by the b44 module.
However, -24 has other changes from -19, including to the nouveau (NVIDIA graphics) and iwlwifi (Intel wifi) drivers. We really need as many people as possible to test kernel -24, which you can get at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=164598 , and confirm that it works okay on your systems.
To install it, use 'rpm -ivh' for the kernel and -devel packages. If you have kernel-headers installed, 'rpm -Uvh' that first. Then reboot to the kernel and check that it boots up okay. Please reply to this thread with your results. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
