I just got back to looking at this. I was able to add the
linux-libre-4.4 to my system, the ethernet is visible now, but the
connection is erratic. I am using gnome, but it doesn't automatically
detect the ethernet. Sometimes I can execute the 'ifconfig eth0' up
command in the terminal and connect. Other times it gives me an out of
memory message.

I have since reinstalled guixsd 0.16.0 on my machine
Since Guix is stateless, reinstallation is rarely ever useful. Did the
behaviour change in the new installation?
but when I run Trisquel 8 from a thumb drive, it reports:
4.4.0-119-generic kernel.
Guix provides a similar version of Linux libre. You can select it by
adding “(kernel linux-libre-4.4)” to your operating system
configuration
file. You may also need to add “linux” to the “use-package-modules”
clause near the top.
