My card was messed up also with the post-RHL9 distributions/betas. I
have heard that rhgb can cause the NIC to malfunction (rhgb is new to
post RHL9, makes some sense).
Also, I have heard that disabling kudzu on startup prevents the fouled
up NIC card.
I hope they fix the problem soon. My Ethernet card worked great from RHL
5.2 until the first beta.
