Remember, RedHat 8 is an older distro and was made before support for the nforce chipsets.

If you want to use the onboard LAN, you will need to get the drivers from NVIDIA.

OP
forgot to mention grabbed the drivers first thing i did
 
now i switched to fedora because a that and its saying the card is incompatible
 
or card doesnt exist
 
the drivers may need to be installed
 
there is no plug in the ethernet port
 
there is no internet present
 
im having fun with the shell but i would mind net access
