Sorry to bring this up again, I've recently got a couple of computers 
with the Asus P5Q motherboard on it.

lspci -m | grep net returns:
02:00.0 "Ethernet controller" "Attansic Technology Corp." "L1 Gigabit 
Ethernet Adapter" -rb0 "ASUSTeK Computer Inc." "Unknown Device 8226"

uname -rm returns:
2.6.18-128.1.1.el15xen x86_64

I've installed 
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-atl1-xen-1.2.40.3-2.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
from a USB thumbdrive and the light turns on in the RJ45 connector, but 
I think I'm missing a key step.  ifconfig doesn't return eth0 information...

So basically, I think I don't know how to initialize eth0...? Can 
someone put me on the right track?

Thanks ahead of time,
Chris
