It's a default that is used if no other address is given to the card.

No, they don't.  It's the card's firmware that puts it in.  This happens 
regardless of the OS.

If you're seeing this, it means that your card isn't being configured on 
startup.  Not by DHCP, not by /etc/sysconfig/whatever, not by anything.

Interestingly, I had pretty much the same issue when I tried Fedora 12 on my 
old tower PC here.  But CENT 5.4 works fine.  Never found out why, I just 
switched to CENTOS.  Maybe it had to do with the Evil NetworkManager, which was 
installed by default on Fedora but not on CENT.
