You can't use an ISAPNP card with the *stock* 2.6.9 kernel shipped with
RHEL 4 (and CentOS 4 and WBL 4).  You will have to re-build the kernel
from sources.   You need to turn on CONFIG_ISAPNP and turn on the
various ISA driver modules.  *Even if you do that*, you might still have
trouble.  You might be better off just getting a PCI NIC.  The Linksys
10/100 cards available at Radio Shack for US$30-US$40 work out-of-the-box.
