tlug: Network card not listed

[Darren Cook <darren@example.com>]

I've just been installing Redhat. My network card was not listed in the
options, but the maker has a driver on their website:
   http://www.planex.co.jp/support/974linux.htm

But Redhat wouldn't let me install networking, because it couldn't find the
card. I tried a couple to see what happens, but it just gave an error.

After finishing the install I compiled the Planex driver, and I can use
insmod to load it, and it shows the ethernet address, so it seems to have
worked.

Do I really have to install all the networking stuff by hand? I couldn't
see a "Use Manufacturers Disk" option when installing redhat, but is there
a post-install program I can run that will do all the work for me?

The NET3-howto says I can run /sbin/netcfg on a RH system, but it isn't
there. Was that part of the networking that RH refused to install? :-)
