Greetings All,

I  have been having difficulties trying to install a network card under Red
Hat 7.0.
During install of OS, I had a rather old IBM EtherJet ISA NIC installed,
which went
unrecognized.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail.
Figuring it had something to do with the age of the card and it being
unsupported, I purchased a Netgear FA311 PCI card and installed it, only to
have it go unrecognized also.  I have tried installing it to different slots
with no success.  I chose the Netgear card because they seem well supported
under Red Hat, based on the list at redhat.com.  I have been able to install
other PCI devices successfully on this machine/build.  If anyone has any
suggestions, or can point me to some useful sources of information, I would
be greatly appreciative.

Hardware details:
FIC VA-503a mainboard
Pentium 200 MMX processor
128 MB RAM
Western Digital 4 GB HDD, with only Red Hat 7.0 installed


Thanks in advance,

George
