I finally got system-config-network 1.5.6 installed.  I broke all my rules to 
do it.  First - I logged in as root.  I then discovered that konsole runs as 
root, saving me the problem of not being able to switch between sessions.  It 
doesn't run as user.

Next I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo.  Remember that I had used 
the CLI --disablerepo=fedora-rawhide.repo earlier, without success.  At that 
point it seemed worth trying yum again, and apart from needing --nogpgcheck 
there was no problem at all.  It installed.

That's the good news.  The bad news is that I still get '3c501 device eth0 
does not seem to be present, delaying initialization'.  Network is, of 
course, unreachable, therefore there are no updates available to me.

Undenyably there are issues with this hardward in general, but there are 
oddities in the whole of this saga for which I can see no logical 
explanation.
