Ah, much appreciated..that will be useful later when I get can the dang thing online :) But...So, I rebooted the the computer (how to I stop and start network otherwise?) and as FC3 was loading I saw the message "Bringing up interface eth0: 3c59x does not seem to be present". I did the lspci -v again and it seems to see it just fine. If I go into Network Device Control and click Activate..it gives the same message (3c59x does not seem present). If I delete it, will it automatically reinstall itself after the next reboot, or will I have to re-add it? Based on the info lspci gave me earlier, how do I manually re-add the NIC?
