FC6 Can't Find Network Card During Install

I am performing a clean install of FC6 on a P3 850 SMP box.  I am trying to 
install using HTTP.

After booting from the rescue disk, I go to select HTTP installation and I 
receive the following error message:
No Driver Found
Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type.
Would you like to manually select your driver or use a driver disk?

My NIC is an Intel 82557/8/9 Ethernet Pro 100

I have selected all the Intel drivers from the list -- none work.  I 
downloaded drivers from Intel for Linux, put them on a floppy, but got the 
error message "driver disk not compatible with FC6."

I even bought a new Belkin 10/100/1000 NIC and have the same problem.

I have successfully installed on an older P3-500 with the same NIC and have 
the same problem.

I could install from the DVD, but I am worried that if it can't find the NIC 
now, it would not be able to find it later.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
