I am sooooo close! Thanks for the pointer, Mark.  I had tried one of
the source drivers before with no luck, but they had a new one, so I
tried it and (god help me) I think it installed.  It seems a bit
funky; I think I need to insmod a file when I start it up (I'm sure
there's a script I can write).  The good news, though is that I can
now see it via ifconfig.  So it's there.

I also edited the 2 ifcfg-eth0 scripts to reflect the IP address shown
on the desktop for eth0 when I run ifconfig.  These scripts may
require some 'refinement', as well.

I know this sounds a little late in the game, but I think it's now
time for me to RTFM re:  getting these 2 machines to talk.  I've been
googling my googles off, but I couldn't get past the driver
installation stage.  Can someone point me to a good source for script
and config file tweaking that will point the two machines at each
other (I want to use the desktop as the gateway, I'm thinking).

You've been super helpful, guys.  A big thank you to Mark, Micxz and
Christopher.  I am almost there!

ps:  re: Mark's question:  the version of the pci card is 
"ver. 2102" per the box.
