Folks
Just for laughs, I took an older 64-bit machine, HP Pavillion A1710N, and tried a net-install of Centos7. The installer complained that there was no network devices available.
I then tried a Centos6 Netinstall disk, and it found the controller and worked fine.
What should I do? I'd love to get C7 installed on it.

what sort of NIC does it have on it?

Can you install the live CD on it?

ok, googled, and found...

Good spotting...
Is this device known to be "not supported" in C7? Recall that it worked just fine in a C6 Net-Install. If not supported, is there any option but to get an add-on card with a modern NIC.

We would need more information to answer that. The vendor:device PCI ID pairing would be a good place to start. If you happen to know which kernel module (driver) the device used under CentOS 6, that would be helpful too.

Yikes. I could install Windoze and get that information. How does one obtain that? Currently, the machine has no operating system on it, so if C6 can get it, I'd need to do a complete install. That takes time but little brain power. And then, I've no idea how to obtain that information in C6.

The command to display the vendor:device PCI ID is:
lspci -nn | grep -i net
I suggest you get CentOS 6 Live media and boot from there.

That was just for the ethernet device. Remove the grep part and you'll get the IDs for other hardware.
