Description of problem:
I have 7.1 installed on two hard drives. The only real difference between 
them is that one has a standard workstation setup and the other has almost 
everything installed (except developer tools).  My ethernet card is 
properly detected and configured by the bare-bones installation, and it's 
detected and configuration fails on the other installation.  I've tried 
manually installing it, but the docs and mods I've gotten off the internet 
and my floppies seem outdated; they all have failed me:  scripts don't 
find the files where they expect them, compilers don't find headers, 
directories suggested to place source code don't exist, etc.  

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install redhat with all packages
2.Remove ethernet card and its config through kudzu
3.Replace ethernet card and reconfigure through kudzu

	

Actual Results:  I've been unable to get my eth card to activate.  Mods 
seem properly inserted when configured through kudzu, but I can't bring up 
interface.  On startup I get error 'can't determine ip address' (I use 
DHCP on and ADSL modem).  

Expected Results:  I should have gotten three nicely configured interfaces

Additional info:

Computer is and athlon thunderbird 900 mHz, Asus A7V motherboard, problem 
hard drive is an ATA 100 Quantum 30 GB ide.  Ethernet card is Kingston 
KNE111TX/SI, PCI card.
