@Hans P Möller, i've tested with kernel 5.1.0-050100rc3-generic and the
b44 module loaded and worked fine, but it created some others warnings
in the dmesg:

Title:
b44 Ethernet driver null pointer during initialization
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This problem started after upgrading to Ubuntu 19.04. It was not
present with 4.18.0-16-generic kernel and is present in the
4.18.0-15-generic kernel. Ever time during boot there is a null
pointer dereference in the b44 driver for the on-board Ethernet on
this Dell Inspiron 6400. After that I can log in but networking
related commands hang and the computer eventually locks up.
Blacklisting the b44 module so it doesn't load works as a workaround,
though of course the on board Ethernet can't be used that way. The b43
WiFi still works then. The following is pasted from the log of one
crash:
