I think these drivers were merged into a the kernel a bit later in the kernel
than CentOS uses, although am a bit surprised upstream didn't backport. Before
I set the machine up for proper, I tried a live Ubuntu disk which recognised
the ethernet no problem, which lead me to figuring out what to do next for
CentOS.
Before I bought this board, I must admit I tried to find a suitable modern
board myself and didn't come up with much in the way of resources... I thought
it ought to be documented in a wiki or something. I ended up doing some
guesswork and taking pot-luck...
