Thanks to those who replied to me.  I now believe my problem was
hardware-related.  I replaced the ethernet card this morning with another
Kingston KNE100TX, and it has been working fine for about 10 minutes.  I
started leaning toward the hardware replacement when, two or three minutes
after I previously reported success, the networking stopped again. It's too
bad there wasn't a more dramatic or clear-cut failure.  Anyway, cross my
fingers.
