Please include the lspci output.
I can access Startech's website and it says it's a Realtek - RTL8111DL
based chip, so you'd better start googling about that chipset under
CentOS.

Victor,
Thanks for your help.
Looks like StarTech is up for me too now.
I do not have lspci on my system, and could not yum install it, did you
mean lsmod? If so here is the output for lsmod :

It is interesting in that the nic interface on the mother board is
listed as :
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit
The nic interface on the mother board works fine. Based on this I would
have expected the st1000spex to work perfectly. The mmi entry is listed
as R8169 for lsmod output, I am not really sure what this means.

OK, I do have lspci on this system; I am going to it down and put the
st1000spex back in the slot, and will send the lspci out put after I
reboot.
