Does anyone have a howto or documentation on how to add new drivers to

some reason (possibly because they're dual port?)
You can use a driver disk hosted on either the install media or a usb
key / floppy disk / cd-r

Unfortunately we do our installs via PXE remotely, so it would be difficult, there is no way to modify the pxeboot initrd?

Hi this is definitely possible, we have had to do similar.
What I would suggest is that you install one system using a driver disk
or similar so that you have a working system to use to help identify
changes needed to your initrd.
There is a lot of good documentation about modifying initrd's its just
that some of it needs to be adjusted slightly for newer Red Hat based
systems.

And remember just because the initrd used for PXE Booting is modified
doesn't mean that the initd on the installed systems is modified as
well. I hope this helps
Good Luck :)
