I've had problems in the past with this. The NIC would fail to get
a link on gigabit network.

The solution was then to replace the e1000 driver with a newer one
from Intel's homepage (it was easy to compile and install).

I havn't seen problems in F10, so you might want to consider upgrading
the no longer supported F8.
