Sorry - I forgot to change the setting for the fedora-list.

They both checked out ok.  Did some more investigating.  the network
init scrip changed from FC3.  It was picking up some old ifcfg scripts.
At one time I had an option in grub to select either a wired or wireless
boot. The appropriate setting would be written to the ifcfg-ethx file to
boot with the correct device.  (I didn't like waiting for one to
timeout.)  Now I just boot to wireless, or will once linuxant has
driverloader rpm's for FC4.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
