    Thanks for your input Scot. Unfortunately, Plug and Play was disabled
    to start with and after much frustration I turned it on. I will turn it
    off again and see if it makes a difference, but I'm not holding my
    breath. The Lan is turned on in the bios as well. I could be wrong
    (and someone please correct me), but I don't think there is support for
    the SIS 191/190 LAN in the stock fedora. I thought I would try adding
    eth0 manually (well, system-config-network-druid), but I didn't see a
    matching driver.

    I'm still going to tinker with the bios more anyway. If it works out -
    I'll owe you one Scot.

    Cheers.
