Rh62 should recognize the card. Do you see the card in the list of devices
output by using the command lspci? You should see something like this:
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]
along with other entries from the different devices. The rh installer may
not have setup your nic if you performed an install from cdrom. I don't
think that the installer gives you the option to setup nics unless you
install from a network source. You may need to run netconf or edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to setup your nic similar to:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=
NETMASK=

# BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NAME=eth0
hope that helps
