I wanted to say thank you to all that helped me out over last couple weeks.
I though I would do a quick bullet points of what I did to fix my issue. To
summarize - my new CentOS install would immediately disable my network
drivers. These are what i did to solve it:


   - yum install nvidia-detect.x86_64
                     # I found out that rather than installing the latest -
   this way works MUCH better
   - yum install $(nvidia-detect)
   - lspci | grep VGA
   - lspci
   - reboot
   - rpm -Uvh kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
   # I used to install the kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1 but apparently for the IONs
   it needed the  kmod-forcedeth-0.64-3
   - reboot
   - rpm -Uvh Downloads/elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
   - yum update
   - yum install mythtv
