Googling your card turned up Intel's driver solutions for it:

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=1702

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?ProductID=61&DwnldID=2896

This:
http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/viewtopic.php?t=168

Recommends:
Code:
# modprobe ixgb


It went on to say:
Quote:
If modprobe gives an error about not having that module try doing (as root):
# modprobe -l | grep net

or maybe about module options? Try:
# modinfo ixgb

and have a look through the available modules. If you can't find it you may
need to recompile the kernel. In a 2.6.x kernel it is in:
Device Drivers -> Networking Support (select "Networking support" and
"Network device suport") -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) -> Intel(R) PRO/10GbE
support


This is really just a shot in the dark. Let me know if any of this works.

i am not sure how to go about loading a driver from a disk or something. i am willing to start from step one to get my card loaded and my internet running. someone please help.

hmm, according to the post you quoted, you probabely don't have the driver for the ethernet adaptor installed.

you won't have internet access (yet), but you should be able to log in (As root). do these commands, and give me the output:
Code:
ifconfig -a
lsmod
[/code]

things refering to either that ixgb driver, or to the "net" things in general.
To see why the ixgb driver won't work
