ok, I've got an install of RedHad Linux (got it on the computer when I bought it off a friend).

I need to install a Nic Card in it. I have a 3Com 3c509b all ready to install, but I'm not sure what to do.

So, heres what I've done so far:
Plugged in the Nic in the ISA slot.
Go into the system config screen (the blue and black screen) and told it to enable Network support, and tried to select the 3Com (not sure if I got it to do that part right or not)
Then exited, and typed in the 3 commands (no, I don't remember off hand) to recompile the kernel.
Then, I went back the X and tried to add Eth0 and some settings... the restarted. But on boot it says that Eth0 fails.

Any ideas?
Also, I've got a copy of Susi Linux I could install from scratch if anyone wants to help me getting a nic installed on that flavor or Linux....
