Its not the problem of Fedora, Fedora distribution have fairly well no of hardwares support. You can download the network driver and compile it even if it is not supported at the rare case. You need to see: /var/log/messages dmesg lsmod eth0 cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 lspci -vv For debugging the problem You also need to verify /etc/modules.conf having the correct module against device eth0 do your m/c have only one card and what does it make of?

Make sure your NIC is properly inserted in the slot (if it is inserted in any) because, sometimes when it is incorrectly inserted it can be identified by the OS, but OS can't communicate with it properly. Next, do "dmesg |fgrep eth0", it will print your NIC's info, make sure it is correct. Or you can try inserting other similar looking drivers into kernel. You can list of net drivers available by default by: -- begin command -- ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net -- end command -- Make sure there is no IRQ conflict, you might try changing slot (if there is any ) or tweaking BIOS settings.
