Hi there,
I also have a problem similar to the one posted by Josue Adolfo posted here https://www.clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/clearos-7-2-not-detect-my-nic
Except BOTH of my network cards are not detected when I try to install ClearOS 7.2
1) What is the recommended way to install ClearOS 7.2 with the necessary NIC drivers?
2) How do I access the terminal from USB installer or installed ClearOS 7.2 (without NIC drivers)?
3) Can somebody help compile/provide the necessary drivers to me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Eric

I assume your output is from ClearOS 6.x or I don't understand how you got it.
I've just compiled the sis190 driver for you. You can get it and the via-rhine driver from here.
Have a look at this post/thread for an idea on how to mount a USB drive. Alternatively, many Distro Live CD's will auto-mount USB devices and some (like Porteus) will run directly from a USB drive. You can use these to transfer the files to ClearOS, then reboot into ClearOS to install the drivers.
To compile them yourself you have a catch 22. Without the drivers you cannot install the development environment to compile. A way round is to use a VM. I use VirtualBox on my desktop and I used to compile the 7.x drivers on this until I upgraded my server to 7.2. Now I use a 6.x VM instead when I need to compile drivers for 6.x.
To get to a command line on the console it is either alt+f2 or ctl+alt+f2.
