I dont use Redhat much, as a matter of fact i've returned to slackware on
my machine here, however Rays suggestion can go one furhter. If one has
redhat 6.1 installed and one adds a network card, then at bootime redhat
should see that there is a new piece of hardware and will say so, it will
also probe the new piece fo hardware and may even tell you what it is and
which driver is needed.
Of course i have not used this funtion so i cant elaborate, i noticed it
when i installed redhat on another machine which i dont have access to here
at the minute to check.
