I have tried the FC5 boot disk and I get the same problem.
I am quite worried about getting down the path of the install and then being
unable to proceed because the NIC cannot be seen.
I have tried a ton of variations on settings in the BIOS.
Could this be related to the SMP motherboard?

I am performing a clean install of FC6 on a P3 850 SMP box. I am trying

After booting from the rescue disk, I go to select HTTP installation and
I receive the following error message:

Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk?
My NIC is an Intel 82557/8/9 Ethernet Pro 100
There's this amazing gadget called "Google" that comes in very handy, at
times like these. The very first link that comes up when you Google for
"intel 82557 ethernet pro linux" indicates that this chip is supported by
the e100 module, which should've been autodetected automatically.
I even bought a new Belkin 10/100/1000 NIC and have the same problem.
That strongly suggests that you have some other problem with this hardware.
Go ahead and start an install. At the point where you're asked to select
which packages to install, use CTRL-ALT-F2 (or F3, I don't remember) and you
should have a shell on the alternate VT. Try running "lspci -v" to see what
PCI cards are visible to the kernel. I do not recall if lspci command is
built into the anaconda install image, but it should only take a few minutes
to try this.
