I've been working on installing rh5.0 on an older computer to use as a
secondary webserver for our university.  Everything was going well,
untill I wondered why it wasnt recieving or sending network traffic. 
Turning to the handy errata guides, I discovered to my chagrin, that my
ethernet cards aren't support. Ugh!

I have IBM ethernet cards, an ISA and a PCI and neither of them work.
This doesn't help me out much since the machine is worthless if it can't
connect to the network :)

Has *anyone* ever heard of IBM ethernet cards being used in a linux
machine? I looked over at Caldera and it doesn't seem that they support
them either. 
ANYTHING at all would be a great help!

I am truely desperate, as this school is a big IBM shop and most of our
hardware is IBM. It will be near impossible to get anything other than
an IBM ethernet card.

Thanks a ton,
