Hi.. Shiraz this is zameer ... its a nice question..
according to me recompiling a kernel is best option in GUI mode and select Ur network card..
recompiling a kernel is little bit awkward... it depends on kernel version , means if it is 2.4.X then download 2.6.x kernel source code and then try to upgrade it from 2.4.x to 2.6.x .... along with this u should download and install modules-utils.X from the net.
may be this helps... but not sure

We have recently purchased computers from www.rafflesystems.com for the whole class, about 60 of them. I am trying to install RH9 on these systems but the system is not picking up the driver for the builtin network card, so I can only activate loop back interface.
I tried "alias eth0 e100" and then also tried e1000. I also downloaded a driver from Intel site. But nothing seems to work. The name of the card is "Intel(x) PRO/100 VE Network Connection"
Then I came across "Fedora", I tried to install that. It was fully installed. But when I tried to boot, it stopped at "enabling swap space" and then hung there for ever. So, I reverted back to RH9.
But I just had an idea. I booted from Fedora Disk and used "Linux Askmethod" and gave the "nfs image" method. Gave the IP address and bingo, it seems to have picked up the network card driver.
Now, my question is how can I extract the network card driver from Fedora disk and use it the computer where RH9 is installed? Where do the drivers reside on the CD-ROM? Are they compiled in the kernel or they are available separately? Help requested please bye shiraz
