Well, all's well that ends well. With Nancy's suggestion, I decided to try some other linux versions. I had a SusE live demo disk. Popped it in the cdrom and rebooted. For some reason the disk did NOT boot, but when Redhat booted this time, it DID detect the new network card. "Do you want to set up your network?" I said yes, and that was all I had to do. Great! It works on RH9 now.
