I tried that out, and the modulas for both cards were loaded.  I ran
dhclient eth0 from the command line to see if I could get anymore
information, the only error message I got was

dhclient-script: 99: sleep: not found

It acted like it was trying to get address...  I tried a static ip as
well, but that didn't work ether, which suggest to me that the modual is
not working right.

I had this problem with the eailyer version of the install, but I gave up.
 I checked the integraty of the cd and it failed!  But tht happened with
the earilyer version as well.  Does the intergraty checker work?  The
md5sum for the iso checks out ok.

I really like what you guys are doing with the installer, so if there is
anything more I can do to help, let me know.

Keep up the good work,
