Bruce, yes. It appears I do not have kernel support for my NIC card. A bunch of googling pointed right at that. I can fix that, I'm sure, by booting into Ubuntu and running a few commands to reveal what card I need support for and then rebuilding the kernel. "ls /sys/class/net" confirmed this theory. My card is not there. So consider this solved.
Ken, I was indeed confused. I have kept a log of my whole LFS experience. My entry for configuring networking says, "Eyes melted, brain frozen. It's 2am, and I. Just. Can't." Haha. Did a lot of re-reading today. Still, when all is said and done, it's damn fun to have created a whole scratch system, and thanks so very much for the work that went into the instructions and the ongoing help.
