Network Card Woes

[Johnson_Brian at emc.com]

I have three identical machines running three different versions of Red Hat.
Each one identifies the network cards differently. None of them work.
Each machine has one Digital Equipment Corp Ethernet combo card with an AUI
and a BNC connector.
Each machine has a second Ethernet card with four RJ-45 ports.
Here are the three versions of Linux and what they tell me about the NICs
after installation:

Version 2.4.21-15
/etc/modules.conf says: eth0 = Starfire
/proc/pci says: "Ethernet Adaptec ANA620xx" (four entries)

Version 2.4.9-e
/etc/modules.conf says: (nothing, no alias was created)
/proc/pci says: "Ethernet Adaptec ANA620xx" (four entries)

Version 2.4.21-9
/etc/modules.conf says: eth0 = E100 and eth1 = Tulip
/proc/pci says: "Intel 82557" and "DEC chip 21140"

I have edited /etc/sysconfig/network, and created the
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 files and rebooted.
The startup scripts report the loop backs start, then eth0 starts with
success.
But at the command line, ifconfig shows no eth0 interfaces. All I see are
the loop backs.
">ifup eth0" tells me "Device Starfire does not seem to be present."
  
None of these systems see both NIC cards. None of them see more than one of
their 5 MAC addresses.
Clearly I'm a cruddy (inexperienced) Sys Admin, (at least until I get fired)
so I could use a hand.
Can anyone offer advice about configuring these NICS on these servers. Thank
you.
