installing intel network card in RH9

[darshan jadav]

Intel VE drivers are available on INTEL site, download, compile the
drive, add it to alias and have it up, once u have the e100.o module
with u, in rest of systems u can direct copy the module in drivers
file and add a entry to alias, save yr time..
