It should load the driver automatically. Do you see your device in the

Ah, thanks. lspci shows my card, running kudzu doesn't return anything,
but the database in hwconf does contain information describing the
device. I have eth0 configured to use 'ifup eth0' but doing so fails
with a device not present error. I'm thinking there supposed to be
something in sysconfig/networking/devices but kudzu didn't add anything
there and I can't find any documentation describing what should be
there?

Sorry, kudzu has nothing to do with it. My mistake.

There either should be a record and an alias in /etc/modprobe.conf or
the device driver should be loaded by HAL subsystem (previous fc
versions used hotplug).

Make sure you have the right driver. Try loading it with modprobe and
then setting it up. If it works add it to modprobe.conf.
