Dave,
Hopefully someone from the list will give you a more complete answer
shortly - Here is my limited knowledge of the situation:
I just setup RH7 on a Micron ClientPro with the D815EEA motherboard.
Like you, I couldn't get RH7 to recognize the network card. I
downloaded and installed the latest netdriver package (SRPM) maintained
by Donald Becker:

This got everything working, but periodically the system would hang hard
(reboot required). This seems to be the same problem others are having
(see recent messages on the list). As I needed the computer for work, I
just yanked a $20 linksys card out of one of my old computers. Since
then I've had no problems.
Supossedly Intel has a driver but I couldn't find it on the web site. I
trust the open source and kernel developers a bit more to make good
drivers anyway.
Good Luck,
Vann
