Ethernet Driver For Dell 1850

[James Cooley]

Red Hat's Hardware Compatibility list seems to indicate the drivers are on
the CD, so you may want to try downloading the newer 'updated' ISO images
from your Red Hat Network account.  The Media Kits for RHEL that you can
order are usually (always?) the initial release of that version.  For
RHEL, Update 4 is out now.

Alternatively, Dell has drivers for RHEL 3 on their website, and they are
available at:

Hope this helps,

James Cooley
