Fedora 17 does not see Atheros AR8161L ethernet device on HP h8-1320t

I recently installed Fedora 17, 64 bit, on an HP h8-1320t.  The machine has
an on-board ethernet port (RJ-45).  According to the machine's spec sheet,
that is device is an "Atheros AR8161L".

Fedora does not see that interface device at all.  Dmesg and
/var/log/messages contain no mention of "Atheros AR8161L" or any useful
substring thereof.  There are no *eth0* files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

I know that the port hardware works because I was able to make network
connections from the machine using MS Windows.

Thanks for any suggestions.
