+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
-Install kmod-alx rpm.
+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.
