This is a RTL8139C with a unique PCI ID.  You will need an updated
driver, which Red Hat failed to provide.

The old driver version didn't recognize the card.

This is a bogus error message -- it should never have been added to
'insmod'.

You are almost there.  You must first load the pci-scan.o module, which
is usually done automatically when you use 'modprobe' instead of
'insmod'.  See

BTW, you could have just used
    rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers-rh70.i386.rpm
