Yes, I have tried that. The really strange thing is that when we try
exactly that
the damn installation works great except... we don't seem to be able to get
RH to
probe for the NICs on boot. It would probably find them if RH would simply
look
for 'em. Any suggestions from here?

Subject: Re: RH5.0 refuses to find my NIC Cards
You've missed quite a bit of discussion on these particular cards,
apparently :) The 3C905B-TX has given several of us some trouble. (Mine
STILL doesn't work like it should. I'm having to use a hack of an old
version of the driver to get it working.) Anyway, what you probably need
to do is this: Install linux, then use some machine with net access to
grab the newest 3c59x.c from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/
and put that in your kernel source (/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/3c59x.c if
memory serves). Compile the kernel with the new driver, and you should be
good to go.
HTH,
Matt
