Re: Supported Network Cards? Please

Try Donald Becker's page at http://www.scyld.com/netork/updates.html

He wrote a number of the network drivers used by RH 7.x and updating from his
site resolved a problem I had with Sundance based D-Link cards.

You will have to install the kernel source and build the driver yourself, but 
the process is quite well explained on the site.
