    First as root in a terminal type lspci and from the list should be 
your Ethernet card. Write down what it is called. It is kind of ODD that 
FC6 didn't auto-detect your ethernet thing.  My old ethernet is always 
picked up. If you don't find it in the lspci list then your in for 
replacing the ethernet hardware.
