Use hardware that is compatible with CentOS 4.6.
Just plug in any compatible NIC and it should work.
It's easier (and cheap enough) to select compatible hardware, and you will avoid problems at upgrade time.

Try logging in as admin and running Configure this server to allow auto selection of NIC drivers, assuming you are using supported NIC's.

Google for Centos hardware compatibility lists.
Also search these forums on NIC or similar for examples of which cards work and which do not.

You will have problems with on board NICs that use unsupported chip sets.
