I'm still not connecting to the internet but at least Linux sees my Ethernet
controller now. Thanks to Humvee for helping me find and load a compatible
driver.  I ran a couple of suggested commands and received the below
information. Any more help would be appreciated.

 

I ran "ifstatus eth0" and received "dhcpcd running, eth0 not up.

 

Ran "ip addr show" and got:

 "eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
100

link/ether 00:  brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::20c:6eff:fe48:212a/64 scope link"

 

Ran "hwinfo -netcard" and received:
