I've gotten a sweet soyo K7V Dragon system up and running with a 1.4 Ghz Athlon, 768 MB of DDR PC 2100 ram, and Windows 98 SE, Windows XP Pro, and Red Hat 7.2. My problem is that while everything is running fine under all the OSes, I have not been able to get the onboard ethernet adapter to work under Red Hat 7.2. Now, it's kind of embarrassing that the adapter works fine under 2 different Microshaft OSes and I can't let that stand.

I have an assigned ip from my isp. I checked under Winblows for more information on the hardware. Irc = 11, memory range is EB001000-EB0010FF; i/o range is EC00-ECFF or 0000EC00-0000ECFF, depending on where I look. I went into Red Hat's configuration utility and under the eth1 tab, I have another ethernet controller which is a pci card, I enter in the values. But, there doesn't seem to be a field that is a perfect match for the windows values. For example, there are 3 separate fields for dns, 2 or 3 separate fields for memory range, etc.

Red Hat was able to pick up the two ethernet devices, so why isn't this working? I have no idea where to start. I am not going to use the linksys card for internet connectivity since it has proven over a year to suck under Microsoft OSes, even with new drivers. I'll use it to network to my other box once I get a new hard drive.

Anyway, I want this to work using the onboard ethernet adapter. Any help would be appreciated.

so ur saying that 7.2 DOES find the network card ... yes? so if you do lmsod you'll see the modules listed? try that...and make sure. then check this file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and 1 (for ur second network card)
and see if all the necessary info is in there. ie NETMASK, BCAST, IPADDR,
BOOTPROTO should be static if you aren't using dhcp AND boot needs to be = yes. and that should take care of you.
*IF* that doesn't do it and ur still having problems post again and we'll see if we can help some more...

I have the "EXACT" same board, cpu, ram, ram speed, everything is exactly the same and I got my on board card running... I didnt do anything really special except that nothign would work until I updated my bios did you already do that? You need to flash the bios and everything will work better... all I used was the command "neat" to update my ip, dns, and gateway..
