Red Hat 6.2 ships with 3coms driver. You don't want that anyway IMHO. Your
board should be found by the 3c59x driver. If it wasnt then do
'insmod 3c59x' and if that reports an error 'dmesg' to see why it errored.
That should work. If so then add 'alias eth0 3c59x' to /etc/conf.modules
Next run 'netcfg' as root, go into interfaces and hit 'add' to configure eth0
