Joe and Randy, Thank you both. I will give both these suggestions a closer look soon. I'm configuring an old AMD K6-2 as a router. First "real" Linux config job. Diving into the kernal config a little too. Looking forward to the learning adventure I'm about to take. Should prove to be both fun and frustrating for this advance novice how owns a Mac, develops J2EE on Windows runs a RHL Linux Staging server for the web at work.

Well, Linux has come along way with auto detecting new hardware. If the nic is on the Hardware Compatibility list for Red Hat, you can simply add it to the machine and reboot. Kudzu should detect it and ask you if you want to configure the new device. Once that is done, you are all set. You can, then, use a tool like Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to administrate it. Hope this helps..
