When I got back I tried to find a recent message where someone talked about NetworkManager and another network tool, saying use one or the other, but not both. I couldn't find it. In despair I restarted NetworkManager and then system-config-network. To my surprise the Hardware tab now shows the Netgear FA411 as eth0. However, when I try to activate the connection I'm still told that the "3c501 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization'. How can I get the system to use the Netgear card that system-config-network can see?
