i do had the same problem on a computer here, and solved the issue by enter the chard number when modprobing the card. to me it looks like the cardnumber are left out by then system-config-network program when modprobing after first registration of the account.. after entered an option in /etc/modprobe.conf the card came nicely up and the connection works ok. when i checked for the options line in /etc/modprobe.conf, after an reboot it seems to be gone but the connection works ok. this was after an upgrade from fc2 to fc3. the status symbole never changes, as in the prev msg. i don't know wether it's reprodiceble or not. (i didn't try and i'm not by the computer.
