No networking since July 28! Only w/ Windows

Using rawhide as of July 28.

All of a sudden, my ethernet won't come up. No link lights. But this is 
dual-boot machine, and networking works if I boot up Windows XP.

I've got a Realtek integrated card, and the kernel finds it:

lspci -vv

But no link light comes on at the linux machine, or at the router.

dmesg | grep eth0

eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xffffc2000064a000, 00:15:f2:77:86:13, IRQ 21

eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000 c07f media 10.

eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008204e.

eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1

Windows gets the dhcp address from the router. Fedora times out. I've tried 
setting Fedora to a static  address, but then I still can't ping anything, 
including the router. OTOH, fedora gives no error about ifup'ing eth0 with a 
static address.

Completely puzzled. Don't know where or whether to file a bug report.
