If the kernel doesn't see the device, you hardware browser certainly
won't.  I think these used the Tigon3 driver.  Try this:

insmod tg3

Else check for updates from fedora's site.  I think there were new
kernel packages that might solve your problem.  Of course you have to
burn them to a CDR to get them on the box (or dual boot and mount the
windows partition and copy them that way) since your nic doesn't work :P 

Isn't FC3 out?  Maybe that would work "out of the box".
