Why wont Linux recognize my NIC?

I'm setting up my computer to be a server, and I have a Linksys 10/100 NIC card in the computer, but the installation program wont doesn't recognize it and skips the network configuration part. Is the NIC not supported by RedHat Linux 7.0?
 
Redhat 7.0 Hardware Compatibility List

I advise you to be on broadband to bring it up. It's big.

There's also a smaller, searchable database at this link. Good if you aren't on broadband.

Can't remember, but I believe there is also some Linux driver info on the Linksys site. It's down as I write this.

Have had problems with known, working, compatible NIC cards and Redhat before. Particularly cards using the tulip module. In one instance the card was running fine until I swapped video cards. That was a mess.

In another instance, I reseated the card and it came up. On a dual boot system with Win98. Win98 was recognizing it. Redhat wasn't.

I'm sure a couple of the more advanced gurus here can come up with some more help than I.

Good luck.
