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.
