The newer Linksys EtherFast NICs need the latest tulip drivers. Go to
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html to get the latest ones. You can
get just the tulip module, or (probably easier for you) a package of all
drivers. Read carefully and you will find it is all explained quite well.

Yes! go to http://moongroup.com/redhat.phtml for searchable archives. Try
not spend too much time wondering why Red Hat doesn't provide this service
themselves, and save the energy thinking good thoughts about Chuck Mead
(another stand up guy like Donald Becker of scyld computing).
