Since you just installed, proably the easiest thing to do is reinstall from
scratch & make sure you install the "C Development" and "Networked
Workstation" packages from the RedHat install dialogs.  The dialog should
then probe for the card & ask for the IP addressing details.  I did it a few
times before I got it the way I wanted.  IMHO installing packages (esp.
major ones) is a pain in the arse.  Since you are still "fresh", just do it
again, paying close attention at the package selection screen.....

Have Fun!

there is a bug in some ne cards

try insmod 8390
then insmod ne io=0x300 irq=9

suplementing 300 for whatever io the card has and 9 for the irq of the
card...

email me if this works and i will show u what lines to insert into the
conf.modules file..

if it is a pci card you need to install a newer kernal

It's highly likely that you won't need to recompile your kernel, but can use
modules instead.  Here are some steps you could take (assuming your card is
pnp).  As root, issue the command:

cp /etc/isapnp.conf /etc/isapnp.conf.bak  (do this to make backups)

pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf

Look for entries describing your card.	Uncomment out the lines referring to
IRQ and IOPORT and the line containing ACCT Y

Then use netconf to configure your adapater with similar IRQ, IOPORT settings.

Good Luck,
Han
