Controller and a Broadcom 54 g max performance 802.11 g.
The first 2 have red x's through them in the device manager and are "disabled". This does not seem right. The last is enabled and 'working properly"
Should I leave it alone, enable them, or update the drivers????
Im pretty lost at this point

you should update the drivers. Go to your manufacturer's website and look up your broadband and wireless drivers. Re-download them and install. This should fix your problem.

Does your networking work? If yes then you should leave it alone. However, if you enable them it should not hurt anything. The Broadcom 440 is the built-in wired ethernet port on your computer. The 1394 net adapter is a generic windows driver most likely for that broadcom 440 adapter. The wired adapter and the wireless shouldn't affect each other. There is nothing wrong with having multiple network devices enabled on your computer. You should not need to update the drivers. Again, it most likely won't hurt anything if you do.

hi, the other 2 connections are wired connection and shouldn't affect your wireless ,so they should not be enabled unless you are connected via 1394 and/or 440x10/100 cables.so not to worry.
happy surfing!
God bless,
