Yup, seen it before.  I have a Dell Latitude CPx laptop that has this
issue.  Many months ago someone on the list was kind enough to provide
the same solution for me and some others.  I had tried prior to that to
change the startup order for pcmcia services.  That seemed to work most
of the time.  But telling it NOT to start that interface at boot time
seems to work all the time.

I don't know if FC3 fixed this or not, I doubt that it did.  Still
running FC2 on the laptop so I have not tested it.
