hi,
sorry for the unclear OS description. I am running RedHat 7.0
I posted a followup response a couple days after sending this one, noting
that I had gotten this ethernet card to work using the e100 driver written
by Intel.
I'll give the new driver version a try.
Thanks for your response,
- Mike

There is no "Linux 7.0". You must be referring to a
distribution version
number, which is mostly useless without letting us know the
distribution.
(Especially with the "My version is N+1" games.)

That means that the driver didn't recognize the device.
You have new hardware, with a new ID, and an old driver version.

Get an updated driver.
Presumably you purchased your distribution with installation support --
they
should be able to help you...
