Ludo,

Wouldn't give up just yet.   It would be rather surprising if you couldn't get
one or both your nics working.   What is the make of the onboard NIC ?  What 
is the problem you're seeing?   Do you see the nic listed when you type:

# ifconfig -a 

What about after you type:

# modprobe tulip
# ifconfig -a

Do you see any hints in the output of  'dmesg'?    Are you able to configure
new network hardware with  'system-config-network'?

Good luck,
Sean
