I'll give that a go. I've tried quite a few other things since my last email. The module is loading (uli526x) although the in-use column says zero. messages doesn't contain anything particularly interesting except for a message saying "eth0: link not ready". I've tried configuring it with NetworkManager and the normal network service, both with the same results. I've even re-installed F10 which didn't work, then tried F9 and still no luck. The reason I tried both is that back in the days of Fedora 8, I had this same problem and never got it working, then when F9 came along, it started working. I then upgraded to F10. I thought installing F9 might kick it back into life but sadly not. Strange that it works fine in Windows though. That link-detect setting sounds like a useful lead. I'll try it tonight after work.
