RH Linux 7.3 does not recognize Intel Pro 1000 (gigbits) Ethernet device

Can anyone help me to find the proper kernnel binary and device driver for Intel Pro gigbits Ethernet devce or recommend a 10/100 based Ethernet PC card for Thinkpad T41 laptop machine?

Thanks,

Henry

Since RedHat 7.3 went end-of-life almost a year ago the cleanest solution would be to use something more modern, like Fedora or RHEL, which should support tha NIC out of the box.
Hi,

   Can you specify the model of your Gigabit card?
I believe that you can find the linux driver for your Intel gigabit card on Intel website.
Download and follow the instruction in README (or INSTALL) to install it.

    RedHat 7.3 is ok.

Hi, Wesly,

Thanks for the response.  The gigabit ethernet is a Intel(R) Pro 1000 MT/Mobile, which is built into Thinkpad T42.  If you can point me to the proper driver for RH 7.3, I will greatly appreciated.   At the meantime, I was able to find 3COM 100 based ethernet card that works with 7.3.

Thanks,

Henry
