Dunno anything about Thinkpads, but what I got from doing some
searching, there seems to be a bit of an issue with IBM Thinkpads and
especially their 3c556b NIC.

Here is a long thread (starting with FC2T1 up until FC3 final - last
comment is dated 2 days ago) about not getting the NIC to work on a
IBM Thinkpad A21P which also has the 3c556b.

The also tried setting "acpi=off" in /etc/boot/grub.conf but to no avail.

You also might want to check out:

as a "solution" seems to be to stick with FC1. (Not really a solution)

Cheers,
