Any chance of getting support for the Atheros L1E NIC in there? The Linux driver
comes with the ASUS P5Q-SE/R board, for their "Express" Linux, and appears to be
GPL. The reviews on the Newegg site say that OpenSuSE-11 supports the NIC out
of the box, so if the license is okay perhaps Fedora users won't have to hand
build a kernel.
