Thanks for the reply.  Can you point me to a location for the driver?

The driver exists, but may not be available on older distributions. It
was first added to linux 2.6.11. I guess that you have 2.6.9 in RHEL4.

You may try to backport the driver, or ask Red Hat to do it if you have
a support contract with them and they are willing to do it.
