Interestingly enough, the onboard nic that has never worked before began working. After booting hdd install, eth0 was the onboard nic not the realtek card. Why the installer used the realtek for installation but didn't set it up as eth0 I dunno. At any rate it worked out for the best - it's nice to have the onboard working. :)
