Following those instructions I get these results:
============================
[root@<machinename> ~]# lspci | grep -i Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit 
Ethernet Adapter (rev b0)
[root@<machinename> ~]# lspci -n | grep '02:00.0'
02:00.0 0200: 1969:1026 (rev b0)
============================
Looking it up on the list, it looks like I should have tried the atl1e 
controller.

This is interesting though, because the source code that I compiled to 
get the network working identified itself as an "Atheros(R) 
AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E Ethernet Adapter", and looking further into the 
README in the source directory it references "arl1e" several times.

Is this the same as the atl1e driver? I assume it's proprietary vs OSS.. :)

I'm going to uninstall the source compiled driver after I download the 
proper atl1e RPM and see if the atl1e RPM works. I will report back 
afterwards giving results.

Also, is "driver" the proper moniker to use in this case? Should I be 
saying "module"?  Just out of curiosity...

Thanks,
