Here's the problem i'm having. I just installed FC5 and for some reason, my NICs are getting all mixed up. I have 3 NICs, an onboard Nvidia nforce NIC, a Davicom based nic and a ADMtek based nic. dmesg points the nvidia as eth0 , davicom as eth1 and admtek as eth2, but when i run the config tool, it points them out as eth1 -> nvidia. eth2 -> davicom and eth0 -> admtek. I'm guessing this is the reason I can't get my network up. FC4 used to work fine. I used the i386 version. I downloaded the x86_64 version of FC5 and I get this error. My specs are:

MSI K8N Neo4-F
1gb Geil Value RAM
AMD Athlon64 3200+
Nvidia geforce 6600
onboard nvidia ethernet adapter
Davicom ethernet adapter
ADMtek/Linksys ethernet adapter

Thanks in advance for the help! I really appreciate it! =)

I experienced the same thing. After finding no solution in the forums, I switched back to the i386 version of FC5. Now the network is up and I feel less like a guinea pig.

I just came upon this link http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-101357.html
Maybe it can be of some help to you. Please post if you get your problem resolved. Maybe then I'll give x86_64 another try.
