The NIC is detected perfeclty by fedora but it fails to initialize. When I set it for dhcp the dhcp request simply times out. I have tried this laptop with ubuntu linux and it works perfectly out of the box so I cannot explain why it wouldn't work in fedora. 2) Error: Determining IP information for eth0... failed. (redhat gui network config) Error: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 00000005 000002 (/var/log/messages) 3) dmesg: card is detected. I am so very sorry I can't give you more output, but the laptop is virtually connectionless. All I can tell you is that Ubuntu ran the card fine but Fedora for some reason doesn't. Any info is highly appreciated. Damian
