So the first NIC was detected but not the second one? (sorry, I couldn't resist). If RH has a driver for a PCI card, it should detect it and setup the basic module entries. It used to be that the setup of a second NIC was a manual process, but I think it will pickup a second NIC now (but only if it's the same driver?). It's been a while since I setup a redhat box with multiple NICs (but I'll be building a new firewall soon with 3 ethernet interfaces so I can give a better answer then). If you know which chipsets your cards use, then you can look up the name of the driver modules in the ethernet HOWTO. Then (as root) try loading the second driver (via insmod or modprobe). You can check which modules are currently loaded with "lsmod" but if the device hasn't been used for a while then the module is cleaned for you. If the driver loads, then try configuring the second interface (eth1) and then add the alias to the /etc/modules.conf file for the driver module. The basic network interface command is "ifconfig" but redhat has "netconfig" that will setup multiple interfaces, let you specify hosts and gateways, etc. There should be a ton of RH docs on the CD and the website...
