In this case, the problem was that lmgrd did not understand Fedora's
new device names, and thought there were no network cards. Fedora 15
changed the way network devices are named, dropping the usual eth*:

The only way I could find to make lmgrd work was to revert the device
names back to eth*, as discussed in

I have not yet tested to see if the same would occur with FlexLM from
other products, like PGI.
