Well, I guess you could create a special boot disk with the required 
driver(s) on it.

BUT, if I were you?

I would simply get a network card that IS fully compatible with the boot 
disk, put it in the machine, and install RH that way.

When finished, rip the card back out, and set up the other one.

Seems easier. Or you could leave the fully compatible card in there, 
compatible cards are like AU$20 or so here. Not worth the time for that 
kind of money right?
