installing intel network card in RH9

[Shiraz Baig]

We have recently purchased computers from
www.rafflesystems.com for the whole class, about 60 of
them. I am trying to install RH9 on these systems but
the system is not picking up the driver for the
builtin network card, so I can only activate loop back
interface.

I tried   "alias eth0 e100" and  then also tried
e1000. I also downloaded a driver from Intel site. But
nothing seems to work. The name of the card is
"Intel(x) PRO/100 VE Network Connection"

Then I came across "Fedora", I tried to install that.
It was fully installed. But when I tried to boot, it
stopped at "enabling swap space" and then hung there
for ever. So, I reverted back to RH9.

But I just had an idea. I booted from Fedora Disk and
used "Linux Askmethod" and gave the "nfs image"
method. Gave the IP address and bingo, it seems to
have picked up the network card driver.

Now, my question is how can I extract the network card
driver from Fedora disk and use it the computer where
RH9 is installed? Where do the drivers reside on the
CD-ROM? Are they compiled in the kernel or they are
available separately?
Help requested please
bye
