I posted that note after trying the FC10 beta net_install CD, which I thought 
had 2.6.27-rc7 as the base. That was the x86_64 version, I am pulling the i686 
version at the moment for install tomorrow on the same system.

I selected the rescue mode, and answered YES to network enable, and the network 
didn't come up. I'll check again tomorrow, the FC9 install has multiple problems 
with that motherboard, so I don't mind installing several times if needed.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't look for the driver, just assumed that no 
network meant no driver. I can believe the installer may be a bit rough, NP. ;-)
