Kerneld should do it for you at bootime, you could try loading the modules
by hand first to see if it can find your card, (whatever make it is you did
not say).
Firstly
'lsmod' show loaded modules, if you see 3cxx.o remove it with;
'rmmod 3cxx.o'
To load the new module
modprobe <module_name>
The above might need some paramters to tell the driver where the card is
located, modprobe will prompt you for those if needed.
The above is just a pointer for you, as you did not say what type of card
you do actulay have.
If the driver loads ok then use 'ifconfig' to configure the card.
If Redhat 4.1 uses the same control pannel as 4.2 then you can do it there
also.
startx (as root)
click on the 'network configuration' icon, when the page appiers click on
'interfaces' now select eth0 then select edit.
