Problem in bring ethernet interface up
 
I am loading redhat linux enterprise 3.0 in a machine but it is unable to configure the lan interface [Broadcomm Betlink Gigabit ethernet]

This the procedure that i have followed

In terminal window:
rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.3.5-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb bcm5700.spec

cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -ivh bcm5700-7.3.5-1.i386.rpm

after that the bcm5700.o is loading at

/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernal/drivers/net

insmod bcm5700

then i am getting error:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
you may find more information is syslog or the output from dmesg

ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Deveice not found


Can any one resolve this issue, I am very thankful for them

I have ever used such an old OS before but I would try running the program depmod assuming its available for RHEL 3.0.
Code:

depmod -a
Then try to use ifconfig.
