I couldn't find out whether FC4 supports your motherboard chip set. However there is a standard list of things to do to see if Linux recognises and initialises your hardware. Look for refrences to your embedded ethernet controller using various system resources as follows. Some of these may not be available for FC4. I don't run that distribution.
Enter the following commands, one at a time, at a terminal window command prompt. After entering each command look for references to your ethernet controller.
dmesg
( This is a ring buffer containing system messages. If the system has been running for a while then boot messages will have been lost. )
lspci
( Actually this probably won't show you an embedded device. )
ifconfig
( Look for any references to eth0 or any eth device. )
Look in /var/log/messages.
Look in /var/log/boot.msg and or /var/log/boot.log. Look for something like this:
