I think the problem is that the ethernet card is assigned IRQ 15 but the
driver is assigned IRQ 11. When I try to use 'ifconfig eth0 IRQ 11' it
returns 'irq: SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported.'
Relevant data:
FC2
Netinity 4500R (therefore the smp kernel)
eth0 is Intel Pro/100 (also tried Fast III 79c975)
Kernel 2.6 not updated yet
Motorola surfboard modem. (I use it for windows connection so the
connection is up.)
I got the card to show as 'Active' the first I tried but couldn't get on
the net. Since then, it won't activate.
ifconfig shows rx & tx with 3 errors and no drops.
( Comcast uses DHCP servers and the card must be configured to use DHCP
-- I also have Comcast-- );

That's the problem. It can't obtain an IP address. It's set up to use DHCP.
What does `miitool eth0` show? I have had some weird problems where the
card would get stuck in non-auto-negotiating mode, and neither end could
agree on anything.
Mine says that it is in 100Mb/s Full, MII and that a link is detected...
