Over the weekend, I decided to try installing the 2.6.5-1.315 kernel

http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/) on my laptop, which is currently
running a fully-updated FC1.
There were the normal 2.6 teething problems -- USB
modules, /dev/input/mice, that sort of thing -- but things seem to be much
better than the last time I tried a 2.6 kernel (e.g., no more kernel
panics from my external USB sound card).
One continuing annoyance is that kudzu persists in detecting my Ethernet
card (RealTek somethingorother; driver is 8139too) as a new one, and
configuring it as "eth2" (eth0 is the real configuration of my card; eth1
is my wireless PCMCIA card). I found a thread from February that mentioned
a similar issue, but I didn't see any resolution. Should I just disable
kudzu and ignore the problem for now?
Here's the root of the previous thread:

Mary Ellen,
Per the referenced thread (and
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/msg02354.html): Did you try
rebooting 3 or more times. It seemed that if you reboot (with kudzu enabled) enough times
things should normalize. One other alternative is to remove the network cards, reboot,
and let kudzu remove the interfaces. Shutdown, reinstall the cards and reboot.
IIRC, it seemed that this problem occurred going from a 2.4 to a 2.6
kernel. As long as you do not reboot into the 2.4 kernel things should
stabilize, but once you go back you'll have the problems again.
