I solved this one by disabling the graphical boot eye candy - it seems that something about the transition from the graphical boot screen on vt8 to the normal X screen on vt7 kills the network card
Try the patch in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100920
This fixed my network card and graphical boot issue...but that vt pops up temporarily in the middle of the graphical boot and looks a little ugly. Not a big deal for me.
