1. Please edit /etc/modules.conf to insert following line:

alias eth0 3c59x  ( if you have 3COM card )
alias eth0 eepro100 ( if you have Intel card )

2. Please do 'netconfig' and select 'bootp/dhcp', and
the result would be saved into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
After this, please try to do 'ifup eth0', 'ifconfig'.
BTW, netconfig is included in 'pump' package which is included in
Red Hat 7.1.
