I just reinstalled FC3 on my dual P3-866 test box with 1Gig of Ram, and 
applied no patches. The only thing I have to do is set acpi=off to boot 
it properly.

Here's the output from my dual P3 box's lspci:

I'm running the same NIC you are.

I downloaded (via wget) the 4 FC3 ISO's from my FTP site several times 
just to force some Ethernet traffic and here's the ifconfig output:
[root at test51 ~]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:22:FD:32:30
          inet addr:192.168.168.51  Bcast:192.168.168.255  
Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::210:22ff:fefd:3230/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:7054016 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:56 frame:2
          TX packets:3371666 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:141
          collisions:14832 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2044931466 (1.9 GiB)  TX bytes:223124888 (212.7 MiB)
          Interrupt:161 Base address:0xdc00

Not perfect, but nearly so for 1.9Gig of traffic.

I intend to apply the latest patches via yum, but tell me if there is 
anything you want me to run on this virgin install before I do that.
