Ok, I did an lsmod in my working kernel:
Module Size Used by
lockd 31184 1 (autoclean)
sunrpc 52976 1 (autoclean) [lockd]
old_tulip 25504 1 (autoclean)
Not sure what to do with this, but ok. Somehow I need to get the module
'old_tulip' into the new kernel that I installed. I tried copying it, but
it definately did not like me for doing that. So, it has to be compiled for
the new kernel I'm using right? I just compiled and installed the standard
released kernel, not anything from RedHat. Is there source availble for
this 'old_tulip' somewhere?
Thanks...

Congratulations...I found compiling my "first" kernel to be a somewhat
heady experience. ;-)
If you still have the old kernel around, boot from it and run "/sbin/lsmod"
as root. I'm not using the tulip driver but perhaps it requires other
drivers to work properly. If that's the case maybe you left them out
during the kernel install. (Been there, done that.)

Can't imagine you'd need to find a new driver since RH comes with the tulip
driver. Try lsmod first and let's see if you're missing another driver.
