yeah....tried that till blue in the face. The device is just not being seen for some reason. I was able go boot fedora 8, do a chroot to centos and bring up the network, but it didn't stick. (chroot worked nice to do a yum update, tho).
Will try a reinstall from scratch.
Thanks for the suggestion.
BTW ASUS.com has a linux Driver for that board. They have one for mine. Mine is a P4P800-E..
There's a more recent driver available than the one on the Asus site. Google found it for me. Unfortunately I can't recall were I downloaded it from now.
Unfortunately whilst it appears to work ok at 100Mb/s, I get a huge number of framing errors at 1000Mb/s. I've not tried enabling jumbo frames yet though.

Since the errors @ 1000gbs have you tried the asus provided linux driver?? BTW you do have gig e net cabability right? Switches? You can try "ethtool eth0" and try to force gig connectivity. Or like you said jumbo frames, but does your switching hardware support that?
