ifconfig shows only the loopback, so my assumption is that the drivers aren't 
loaded.  lsmod also is unrevealing and insmod eth0 gets me something like 
"what's that?!"  As I said, this was a fresh install in which the network was 
detected and configured during the install.

How do I get the drivers?
