Which one?  I have gone through the PCMCIA How-To but it really doesn't
apply because I am try to get the onboard Ethernet to work, not a PCMCIA
card.  In addition, I have gone through the various pertinant chapters
in "Running Linux" in order to "get a clue" but have had no great
revelations.  I have poked around my Red Hat 6.2 installation on my home
workstation but it basically showed my what Tom Veldhouse described. 
That in conf.modules, I have an alias to eth0 for the tulip module.
