@Alan, thanks for your information.

[Admin@localhost ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep -i net
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communication AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)

[Admin@localhost ~]$ /sbin/lspci -n | grep '01:00.0'
01:00.0 0200: 1969:1083 (rev c0)

Searching for the vendor:device ID pairing of 1969:1083 shows that kmod-atl1e should work with this Ethernet controller.

But I go to Network Configuration and Create New - Ethernet connection - Forward - Adapter, and I can't find, so which Adapter?

Thanks
Regards,
Rileks

Great. You are nearly there. The next steps are to:

(1) download the correct [b]kmod-atl1e[/b] package for your architecture (32- or 64-bit) and kernel type (standard, PAE (if 32-bit) or xen) -- http://elrepo.org/tiki/Download
(2) copy it to some form of removable medium (USB memory stick, perhaps)
(3) take that removable medium to the target system
(4) install the package with --

[code]
[b]rpm -ivh kmod-atl1e-*.rpm[/b]
[/code]
(5) configure the system
(6) reboot the system

Thanks Alan, This worked for me. I did skip step 5 and upon reboot, the card was recognized and assigned an IP via DHCP. Once again, you have very helpful. Much appreciated.
