An rt18139! Who'da guessed? The good news is that it's probably a good card;
I'm very happy with the D-Link rt18139s I have.
To catch addresses via DHCP, you need to run the daemon dhcpcd . I'd look
for a dhcpcd.*.rpm ... these days, the DHCP client and server apps are
usually in separate packages.
You're getting eth0 errors because the network isn't configured. That's also
why no listing in /proc/interrupts -- they get listed there only when
actually used, and you haven't configured your interface yet. Getting DHCP
running will fix that (asuming you're correct that your site uses DHCP leases).
