Did you set up the card when you installed RedHat? I mean did you specify
the I/O address and the IRQ? Did you compile a new kernel, if so did you
enable ne2000?
First check the file /etc/conf.modules there should be something like this
in the file:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x240 irq=10
If not you might have compiled ne2000 directly in the kernel not as a
module. I do have it compiled directly in the kernel but as far as I
remember the module should be in the directory /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/
and is named ne2000.
This is just a short listing of places to look for since the problem you
described could have quite a lot of causes. I hope this helps you to
narrow it down and let us know more details.
