I have a toranado card, but this is a 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com
Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 74).
This works fine with the latest kernels - kernel-2.6.8-1.541 and
kernel-2.6.8-1.540. I am running with acpi=on specified in the grub.conf
file. I get an inet address and everything. With the reealtech NIC, I
get a hardware address, but no inet address.

Hopefully the FC3T2 discs can be improved from the feedback from testers
of the release candidate. Good luck on the next attempt.
The X failure, in general seems to be related to fonts for the server
not being present. The trouble with the ATI Rage graphics card scares
me. Did this happen w/ all of the kernels tried. I tried X on a computer
running FC2 with one of the earlier CVS test versions and it worked
better. I'm asking mainly because X was all that I upgraded (plus deps
that were pulled in). This computer uses the radeon driver and is a laptop.
