Onboard Gigabit NIC Drivers for fedora core 5

[Andrew Bacchi]

I agree that you should be running a newer version of Fedora, FC8 would 
be a good choice.  But you should also learn a little about the kernel 
and how it works.  You should be able to get the driver for that card at 
the OEM of the motherboard and load it into the kernel as a module.  
Here's a good howto:
