Looks like this was a bug with one of the cards I was trying to use.

Thanks, Robert

It looks like you're running into a known bug with RealTek 8139cp drivers
under Fedora Core.

Bug 15621 seems to have a fix.

You could try forwarding this (the relevant section) back to the list now
that we've
narrowed down the problem.  Make sure you let them know what the card is.
Alternatively,
you could obtain another network card of some variety.  I've had very good
success with Intel.
