 I have a HP Pavilion P7-1235 with the onboard Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 08) card.  It was not recognized by CentOS 6.3.

+__Update 18 Sept 2014__ \\
+Earlier this week the network card disconnected randomly and a full reboot was needed for it to reinitilize itself.  Google search seemed to indicate a problem with this particular card being prone to random disconnects. So I revisited the Onboard NIC as noted above not having a driver, and there is one availablel through the ElRepo linux repository.
+Install the ELRepo respository from http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php
+yum -y install kmod-alx (version installed was kmod-alx-0.0-8.el6.elrepo.x86_64)
+Reboot; NIC should be found automatically.  Configure as needed via NetworkConnection Manager.
