Depends on which card, dfe-530tx is a via-rhine, dfe-530tx+ is rtl8139 I
think, and I think I read something about some cards with a similar name
using the tulip driver. But if is exactly dfe-530tx then it's the right
driver.

Where are you choosing this?
If this is during the installation I think you have a better chance
finding out how to do and debug it on some RedHat list. I know I have
installed over ftp with a via-rhine and there was no problem and no need
to specify anything except ip# and such.
If it's not during the installation, try running 'netconf' and add an
entry for your card. enabled, manual, ip address, netmask, net
device, kernel module should be enough.
If you as root do:
# modprobe via-rhine
# dmesg
You should get some output saying something like:
eth0: VIA VT3043 Rhine at 0xd400, 00:50:ba:a4:15:86, IRQ 19.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 0000.
Chip name, irq, ioport ... it should be detected automagically.
