Ned, thank you for reply.

iirc, at;

  SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/i386 - CentOS Wiki
  https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/i386

it was stated that the 32 bit was built from 64 bit 7.1511 build.

at path /lib/modules/2.6.32-642.3.1.el6.i686, grepping 8169 shows
files modules.alias, modules.alias.bin, modules.dep, modules.dep.bin,
modules.networking, modules.order, and modules.pcimap, contain
'r8169'.

after i install 7 -32, i will do some more checking to see why
ethernet is not working.

thanks again for your reply. greatly appreciated.

you have brought about first listing of notes for new install.

later.
