That would be good.  Even a crossover cable between two machines would be
enough to test the system.

My current best diagnosis is that the dhcpcd on Strawberry has somehow
been configured without zeroconf, so it does not acquire a link-local
address and bring up the interface in the absence of a DHCP server.  I
freely admit, though, that this diagnosis doesn't make a lot of sense,
because Fedora has generally embraced zeroconf and Avahi, and there's no
reason Strawberry should be different from stock Fedora in this regard.
