Problem fixed: Network: "Hisax device eth0"

[Christoph Wickert]

Hi!
I had to remove all my network hardware (both Fritzcard and RT 8139) and 
to reinstall it in redhat-config-network. The problem seems to be caused 
by kudzu, which didn't detect my hardware properly: I'm not sure, what 
module it used for my ethernet, but the Fritzcard PCI was detected as 
"AVM A1 ISDN Controller", removed and reinstalled. (If it want's install 
as an active card, it should also load the kernelcapi modules)

"hisax device eth0" is definitely wrong.
