The default drivers for RedHat 6.0 and lower do NOT support the 3c905c
`Tornado' card, but you can get a driver from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
That you can plop into a tree and get working easily. I did it
recently with a CD-install and then put the driver on the machine via
floppy. This won't work trivially for linux-athena, I presume, but
there may be someone on linux-dev who knows how to deal with that
issue (I don't).
