Kudzu (ie network-config), and editing ifcfg-eth0.

Nope, it's clean.  Part of my final fix was to put ONBOOT=no in 
ifcfg-eth0 so the boot process wouldn't bother with the card on boot.

mii-tool shows no link status (nor does the switch), even after I manually
ifconfig the interface to be UP/RUNNING.
