Looks plausible. I take it this is a private subnet then?

I've also got
DOMAINNAMElah.blah
GATEWAYpp.qq.rr.ss
GATEWAYDEVth0
but these are probably not relevant to your private subnet.

Hmm. Are the appropriate driver modules being loaded automagically at boot
time? Check with /sbin/lsmod. If not, insert 8390.o and etherh.o manually
with /sbin/insmod. You probably put them in /lib/modules/2.0.35.
Then try to make the interface come up with:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
./ifup ifcfg-eth0
and check with:
/sbin/ifconfig -i eth0
I always thought the boot sequence was supposed to do a '/sbin/depmod -a'
automatically. This should have created /lib/modules/2.0.35/modules.dep
with the following line in it somewhere:
/lib/modules/2.0.35/net/etherh.o: /lib/modules/2.0.35/net/8390.o
If not, try running '/sbin/depmod -av' manually as root. That might do
the trick for you.
