I was trying to upgrade to RH 7.1, but I kept running into problems.  I
finally had to reinstall 6.2 from cd.  I didn't know that the drivers where
included with the 2.4.x kernel.  What I was planning on doing was trying to
find the latest and greatest drivers, practice compiling them, so when I did
get another chance to upgrade, I already have some of the issues that I was
facing worked out.  If I don't need to compile drivers, then that issue is
worked out for me already.

Thanks Jon.
