New Cluster...problems recognizing ethernet adapter

[kgleason at ma.ultranet.com]

I just bought a new cluster for the college lab and am in the process of getting it up and rolling. The motherboard is a 1Ghz K7S5A with an onboard ethernet LAN. The card uses a Sis900 PCI Fast ethernet adapter and works well under Windows98 but is not being recognized under Red Hat Linux 6.2 (necessary version because I'm using Scyld's beowulf cluster CDROM). I looked through the documentation with the motherboard and it said that it worked with non-K7S5A boards using RTL8139.o. I checked the windows side and saw it uses the Sis900 software
I did find a copy of RTL8139 in /lib/modules/2.2.17-33.beobeoboot/net and also found a copy of sis900.o in /lib/modules/22.17-33.beo/net.

How do I get one of these to be recognized by my network?
