Haha! Just as a followup to "solved?" My new kernel does indeed load the NIC drivers. I have an onboard Realtek "card." Without seeing a specific listing for an RTL811/8168/8411, I just "shotgunned" it by installing everything relating to an Intel board and Realtek ethernet. But, nevertheless, despite a crude hack, I am on the net, and now I can, in fact, do a BLFS creation from working LFS install! Cheers! I look forward to a bit more "surgical" approach, but in the meantime, I have an OS I can use. Love it.
