It's easier to download the kernel source (plus corresponding modutils) from
ftp.kernel.org and compile it yourself, with the drivers you know you need,
rather than be at the mercy of Redhat's RPM based kernel upgrades. You could
compile a kernel with drivers for your Realtek, iptables support, and any
other goodies you may need or want in less than 20 minutes on a modern
machine. I know for a fact that the latest kernel (2.4.2) has Realtek 8139
ethernet drivers. Why not take 5 minutes and learn how to compile your
kernel? It's not hard and will pay dividends down the road. If you need
instructions on how to compile a kernel, there's plenty out there on the
web. Hit the search engine of your choice.

Subject: 2.4 kernel and eth0
I have a realtek 8139 card.
It is not a laptop
It was running on 2.2.17-14 kernel no problems.
I followed the upgrade instructions as best i could.
The only rpm i couldn't find as per instructions was kernel-ibcs.
Three other kernel rpms i didn't install because they wern't in the
instructions were kernel-BOOT kernel-doc and kernelcfg
I'm trying to build a firewall/router but iptables dosen't work with
2.2.17-14. It gives me the error "you may need to upgrade your kernel"
Thanks for the words of wisdom
Regards
Stu
