Not sure if any of this will help, but some possible ideas to get you
going.

In Fedora 10, NetworkManager is the default.  If you run gnome, you
should see a little network icon in the upper right.  It probably has a
red X through it.  Click on it, and a NM dialog asking whether you want
to activate the connection should come up.

If you go into system->administration->services is NM active?  How about
network?  Only one or the other should be active at a time.

Can you configure the hardware from the dialog?

You can poke around in /etc/sysconfig/networking and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to see if you find anything obviously
wrong in the configuration.

On the other hand, this *could* be a bug.  When I ran F10 I didn't have
a problem, but you might because of your hardware.  If it is, go to
http://bugzilla.redhat.com and open a new one for your problem.
