Hi Manoj, I have the same type of machine with the same network card (the NIC is integrated with the motherboard, correct?)
I ended up using the driver 3c59x instead of building the one for 3c90x.o. I've used the 3c59x driver on the same machine with previous versions of RH for about a year and a half without problems. You should be able to find the source to build the 3c90x.o driver if you prefer. Here what I did yesterday: 1. added "alias eth0 3c59x" to /etc/modules.conf 2. ran the command "insmod 3c59x" 3. used netconfig to setup the IP address 4. changed the HOSTNAME value in /etc/sysconfig/network to my computer name (host.mydomain.com) 5. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts 6. ran "ifup eth0" 7. ping -c 4 www.yahoo.com Another interesting thing is I noticed that RH not reconize the chipset for my sound card. The good news is that when I updated to all the latest RH patches, kudzu correctly reconized my chipset and all is well. Also I flashed the BIOS from A04 to the latest A10. Hope some of this helps!
