Was this the x86_64 version of FC4?

Does "lspci" give you this line.

	00:05.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK8S Ethernet Controller (rev a2)

If so in /etc/modprobe.conf  look for a line that looks like:

	alias eth0 forcedeth

And in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts look for ifcfg-eth0
and make sure that it is sane.
