Sssuming the NIC is Linux-compatible, you need
to recompile the kernel with the driver for the
nic included.

Copy the driver to
/usr/src/linux-source-code-directory/dirvers/net

Run make menuconfig, or make xconfig
When prompted to include support for the NIC,
select yes (y), or module (M)

Build ther new kernel, then install it
Reboot with the new kernel
You should now have support for the NIC

Cheers

Your card if fully supported on redhat.
try to run kudzu and it will detect your NIC for you
