I'm no network guru, but as nobodies posted back yet... I see the 3c59x driver in /lib/modules/2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686/kernel/drivers/net. Unless it's broken, and won't load. Does /sbin/lsmod show it as a loaded module? Looking in /etc/modprobe.conf, you should see alias lines for the 2 realtek cards. Presuming there is no alias line for the 3c59x, you could simply add a line for it as below. I take the comment above back, as having just looked in /etc/modprobe.conf on my F9 install, all that is there are lines related to my soundcard, that I have set, although on earlier versions of Fedora the alias line was there for my 8139too module. That aside, you could still add an alias line for the 3c59x module, and reboot after adding it. See below. alias eth2 3c59x Interesting that the machine I have FC2 installed on has a 3com card using the same driver. Just some suggestions.
