Chances are that your 3c59x card is being driven mad with the more 
thorough kudzu/ethtool action on boot-up. Some have disabled kudzu 
during boot to prevent the problem. Others have disabled the graphical 
boot to fix the problem.

It used to work in RH9, but has been broken since the first beta for 
Fedora. Check the list archives and also bugzilla for more about the 
3c59x problem.
