This is from my memory of doing it once on a 486 for the same reason, so
double check me on the commands (check the manpage for pnpdump and
isapnp). Plug it into the case, boot up the computer, log in as root, run
"pnpdump > /tmp/pnp.txt"
"vi /tmp/pnp.txt" (or pico or emacs or ....)
edit the sections that it says to; I think this ended up being simply a
matter of uncommenting 1 or 2 lines.
Save and exit.
run "isapnp /tmp/pnp.txt" and see if it says success or not. If so, try
running /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0 or simply
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 (or whatever).
