Fedora can't use onboard Ethernet

I just installed Fedora, and it won't connect to the internet. When I want to configure an ethernet card, it won't see any sort of onboard ethernet. Any suggestions?

What chipset does your onboard NIC use?

You should be able to find out with the "lspci" command, eg on my machine at work: $ /sbin/lspci SNIP 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio (rev 01) 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev 11) 02:07.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSFi Modem (rev 01) /SNIP
You cuold also find out by looking through the manufacturer of your motherboards website....

Ok thanks for that command. I don't know if I should get the nForce2 drivers or not (because that seems to be the ethernet chipset) so I'm going to use one of my many PCI ethernet adapters and try to find it from the list.
