Can you configure the IP address by hand and see if some traffic flows ?
If not, assuming you have a 8168 (which should be clear from the line
including the 'XID' comment in the dmesg of your kernel), it could be
worth to give the kernel a 'noapic, pci=nomsi' option at boot time.

The driver itself stood the same and the kernel has not changed much from
2.6.25 (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64) to 2.6.25.2 (kernel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64).
Something _must_ have changed though.
