I'll bet the onboard chipset was develped two years *after*
RedHat-6.2 so it is clear you had to compile a module for it.
Although I agree with most people said about ether card support
in Linux (practically everything on market works). It still
is wise to buy brand name when it's not very expensive. As an
example, in the last few years I tend to by Intel EtherExpress-10/100
since they are just a bit more expensive than no-name cards
and you get support for *nice to have* features as:
- PXE support for remote boot/install (without the
need to burn etherboot roms, or etherboot disketes)
- eepro100-diag (Donald's Becker diagnostic tool).
- Wake on Lan support
