Re: 3C509B

Hello Joseph,
I think try the following

1. As root type on the prompt: linuxconf
2. If this is your first time to use command linuxconf, just highlight quit and press enter to quit the 
greeting message. Then you will be in the other graphical window and jist follow this:
press config ---> Networking ---> Client Tasks ---> Host name and IP Devices.
3. you will be taken into another window where you will see your IP numbers and Machine name + 
	domain. Go where there is Net Device and the entry there should be eth0. ANd on Kernel 	
Module the entry should be either 3c509 or 3c59x or you can just bring the cursor there and 	
just press Control Key + key X together for you to choose the module of you list. The best is 	
to choose the 3com series kernel module. or any module that is close the the module 	indicated 
on your card.

I hope this will help.

By the way why don't you install Red 7.2 or 7.3, I also hear there is a new release of Redhat 8.0

Regards

David
