    Does the install actually see the physical nic?  Could it possibly 
be loading the wrong driver for it?  Before you go into software hunting 
mode, I always check hardware drivers first, make sure they're there and 
are correct.  I'd check /var/log/dmesg see what it says regarding the card.

    And not to burst your bubble, but I just installed FC6 on a 
relatively old machine that has 3 Intel nics in it (one dual and one 
single.)  Just a breeze...configured all three, rebooted and there they 
were.  I'm running updates right now.  By golly, I'll be going home 
early today.
