By the way, can you think of a reason why Broadcast Appliance doesn't
support an Ethernet NIC that Centos 5.5 LiveCD does?

The OS that is on the appliance CD does not have drivers for some on board NIC.

This is no fault of Rivendell

after  lot of ferreting this is the solution thanks to ELRepo.org

console
su

/sbin/lspci

To select the correct driver package for your hardware, please follow
the example below (shown for an Ethernet controller):
[user@elrepo]$ /sbin/lspci | grep -i net
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

[user@elrepo]$ /sbin/lspci -n | grep '04:00.0'
04:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 01)
Searching for the Vendor:Device ID pairing of 10ec:8168 on the
DeviceIDs page will show that kmod-r8168 should work with this
Ethernet controller.

Then you go to

http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/

to get the rpm

rpm -Uvh

you my need to install
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.60.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

in order to be able to install the driver rpm

My system found the card and had it configured the moment it was installed.


I have done this a couple of times now.
