As long as you've got /etc/init.d/network then you'll be fine.

Looks like the pulseaudio daemon is failing to start.  The only other
wild guesses that I can come up with are to make sure that you've
applied all updates (yum -y update), and maybe try disabling SELinux
(in /etc/selinux/config).  Beyond that, you prolly need to get on the
fedora-users mailing list and see if someone else has more ideas than
I.
