I plugged in the card and is recognized as a device
The OS is Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp). The drivers CD comes with the linux drivers for compiling but they can't be compiled, sends out several compilation errors. Anyway, it seems fedora brings with the driver (sundance.ko).

Here it is the lspci

Here we have the alias entry in the modprobe.conf,in spite of that I've read there is no need for in this version, anyway I added the line
#cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptspi
alias eth1 sundance
#alias eth1 /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/net/sundance
#
I tested the last commented line and there is no change

This is when I try ifup
ifup eth1
El dispositivo sundance eth1 no parece estar presente, retrasando la inicialización.
