I had to go out, and I left the system on while I was away.  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?
