This device uses the forcedeth driver which is disabled in the CentOS 7
kernel.
You can use the kmod-forcedeth driver from elrepo.org:
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-forcedeth-0.64-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
Was it not detected or not enabled? By default, NO network ports are enabled on RHEL (and thus on CentOS) since CentOS 6. See http://wiki.CentOS.org/FAQ/CentOS6 Question #2.
During installation, there is a spot to “Configure” your network ports. One of the options in the configuration is to “Enable on startup” or something similar. That box is not checked by default. If you check it, you network port will usually work as you expect.

A number of drivers have been disabled in RHEL/CentOS-7. As explained in Ned’s post, forcedeth is one of them. Why do we know that’s the right driver? The OP provided the deviceID pairing [10DE:0760]. You can find it in ELRepo’s web page at http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs .
By the way there is a request to enable it in the CentOSplus kernel (
http://bugs.CentOS.org/view.php?ids59 ), so it will be there in the next kernel update.
