/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is missing. I guess this means Fedora didn't recognize your network card or has no driver for it.

You can try to create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with something like this in it:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet(you must adjust the values to your own network). Then you run /etc/init.d/network restart and check with ifconfig if your network card has come up.

Please post the output of ifconfig after you've restarted the network.
