I think lspci was mistakenly identifying it...
If you need more information let me know what commands you'd like to see.
Could you follow the instructions on the Device ID page of the ELRepo site at:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs
and show us the vendor:device ID pairing of your Ethernet device?

Following those instructions I get these results:
============================
[root@<machinename> ~]# lspci | grep -i Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter (rev b0)
[root@<machinename> ~]# lspci -n | grep '02:00.0'
02:00.0 0200: 1969:1026 (rev b0)
============================
Looking it up on the list, it looks like I should have tried the atl1e
controller.
This is interesting though, because the source code that I compiled to
get the network working identified itself as an "Atheros(R)
AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E Ethernet Adapter", and looking further into the
README in the source directory it references "arl1e" several times.
Is this the same as the atl1e driver? I assume it's proprietary vs OSS.. :)
I'm going to uninstall the source compiled driver after I download the
proper atl1e RPM and see if the atl1e RPM works. I will report back
afterwards giving results.
Also, is "driver" the proper moniker to use in this case? Should I be
saying "module"? Just out of curiosity...
Thanks,

The atl1e module works. Thanks for clearing this up for me!
