Looks like driver for that NIC failed to load, please go to Shell
option and check in dmesg for errors
probably due to missing firmware. There was a patch just after 1.0.2
release which fixes firmware missing in the image:

1.0.3 should be out next week, but in the meantime you can try
building ovirt-node-image from "next" branch.
