I can only assume it's still good, as it worked fined before the FC3
install.  

Actually, my nic isn't on board - it's just an old pci nic.

As long as I unplug the cable on boot, it works like a champ.  Only
hangs on boot.  After boot, I can plug in the cable and everything works
perfectly.

This is the only box I own that has this problem.
