Also, I was able to install the kernel firmware package off a USB drive,
but it didn't change anything that I can tell. Is there something I need
to do to configure the system to use it?
 From command line, run: drakx11


I didn't use drakx11 but I did use drakconf->display which recognized the card and was able to successfully test it (this isn't necessarily new since the test also usually works during installation). This had no effect on the booting issue that I could tell.

I did however get the bright idea to test x11 from the safe mode command line. I ran startx and it gave me a root desktop. I did ALT-F2 and was able to start my normal user desktop from there. Video and sound work normally but networking is still down.

If I attempt to run Network Manager or MCC->Network&Internet->Network Center the system locks up with a "Please wait" message.

Getting safe mode to give me a command line is still iffy, but at least with a bit of effort I can get to my desktop. A little progress at least.
