[olug] Problems with setting up NICs

[Don Kauffman]

It  is apparently not included with RH 7.0. I'm running the 2.2.16-22 Kernel.
I'd prefer to get comfortable with this setup before I start upgrading kernels.
I''ve installed other distributions  but found that  RedHat 7.0 has what I need
and want in a multipurpose system -- for the most part. This  little problem
being one of the OTHER parts. :-(

I'm going to have a try at compiling the stuff I need for this driver. It's a
little more complicated  than just one simple driver. Apparently there is a scan
module (pci-scan.o) that needs to be compiled as well.

Thanks all!
