Go into Linuxconf and check there. I had a similar problem with an
RH6.0 machine. Everything was there, but the driver wasn't listed with
the card in Linuxconf. It was on the pulldown, but for whatever reason
hadn't made it into the block. You might also have to manually put the
irq in in the same place.
