It was picking up some old ifcfg scripts. At one time I had an option in grub to select either a wired or wireless boot. The appropriate setting would be written to the ifcfg-ethx file to boot with the correct device. (I didn't like waiting for one to timeout.) Now I just boot to wireless, or will once linuxant has driverloader rpm's for FC4. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Clifford
