The most obvious question would be what kind of network card is it and

I haven't the faintest idea. I don't speak hardware -- much less try to
handle it with trifocal fingers and arthritic eyeballs. I've never so much
as gotten a case off a computer without breaking something trying to get
it back on.
Now THAT would be something you have to include in your post when you
ask a question like this.
OK, fine -- how do I find out? The hardware browser I see in FC6, or what
looks to me to be one, is very different from what used to be called that
in FC 1 - 5; but I do have a way to open something that I think will tell
me -- once I know where and how to look. So how do I know a network card
when I see one? I bet it isn't called that.
And what command a/o log will tell me whether modules (modules??) are
loading? I'll be glad to do the work and report, once I know how.
Jim's already answered this one but in short:
lspci for listing PCI devices in your system and
lsmod for listing loaded modules.
These need to be run from a CLI.

P.S. I've been using Linux since Redhat 5.2 and I STILL can not do
everything I want graphically. I'm afraid for fixing problems like this
the CLI is still your best bet.
P.P.S. Oh, sorry - CLI = Command Line Interface. Basically just open a
terminal window from your menu - that is the CLI.
