No experience with RedHat after 7.0, I lost all faith in their releases

In that case, RedHat have obviously changed their kernel config from 6.0 to
7.1. Check in the /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/net/ directory for 3c*
files, and try and run 'modprobe 3c509', if that works, you can use ifconfig
to bring up the interface and such.
