Hmmm... well it looks like its having trouble with the ne2k-pci module. 

Go and have a looksee if the module ne2k-pci.o actually exists in the
directory /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/ 

Or type 

ls /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/ne2k-pci.o

and if it returns /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/ne2k-pci.o then it exists.

Also, once the drivers and installed, you'll need to make sure your
network configuration is correct, or else the network work com eup with
"ifup eth0".

In Debian the file to edit is /etc/network/interfaces, but I think its
different in Redhat... There is a GUI for it somewhere, you've just got
to find it.

The initial aim is get the ne2k-pci module to show when you type lsmod,
and preferably to actually show that its being used.

Also, there is a kindof GUI-app, its an ncurses terminal GUI, without
much G, but its called "modconf" run this, (I think it exists in
Redhat... it better!) and you can select the modules from a list,
obviously you want to be selecting from the "net/" section (you'll see,
when you run it)...

Try loading ne2k-pci from there, and let me know how it goes. Run
"lsmod" again, and post the output.

BTW, it is a PCI card isn't it, (they're the shorter slots, the slots on
the motherboard are generally white), and not an ISA, (they're the longer
slots, the slots on the motherboard are generally brown)?

Good Luck,
Steve
