Network Card on Fedora

    I'm running the latest Fedora on one of my computers and Fedora has recognized the device and by default set it it eth0.

    But the Network Card seems to be dead when I am actually on Linux. I can use it fine on my Windows, and it lights up while booting up, but when Fedora starts the light doesn't come back on, and my Linksys Router doesn't notice a connection from the computer.

    Any ideas?

    Helps to know what the model and Mfg of the NIC so that we can help you. Have you tried using NDiswrapper and loading the Windows driver for the NIC off of the Windows partition?

    It's a 3Com 3C595-TX.

    The Network Device manager picks it up, it just cannot be activated.
