Yes, and yes

Yeah, I know ECS isn't the highest end manufacturer around, but I don't overclock, and the Asus I paid premium $ for last time was a piece of crap, so I figured I'd roll the dice

Some possibly useful further info for anyone else with this board -- the VT8235 apparently includes the VT6103 (aka Tahoe) ethernet controller. If that's the case, no wonder this doesn't work. Via does not appear to have drivers available for this, nor does the ECS-supplied CD.

One thing I'm going to try before throwing in the towel: The ECS CD has 4in1 4.43v -- I just pulled 4.46 from viaarena, so I'll burn that on CD and see if it helps. If it doesn't, I'll accept that I lost my dice roll, and head to the store for a new NIC (hopefully not followed by a new mobo). Thanks for the reply.
