The easiest thing to do is to have the Linux system tell you what it found:
$ dmesg | grep eth
dmesg will print the kernel ring buffer, so do this shortly after a boot - you
may get away with it later, but the sooner the better. You'll also see the
output while you're booting, but it's easy to miss since it scrolls by so
quickly.

Typically you can ignore the vendor's driver floppy if you're installing a
recent copy of Red Hat Linux. The kernel support is pretty darn good these
days. If you run the standard Red Hat setup tools, things normally just work.
I did a quick Google search and it looks like you may have an Accton
Ethernet card, not accon. The thread was nearly 3 years old and it looks
like the Accton cards were supported then with the tulip driver.
