I'm guessing that you are still using the old driver.
Check 'dmesg' to find the driver version number.

It's easier to download the RPM.
  rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm
  cd /usr/src/redhat/
  rpm -bb SPECS/netdriver.spec
  rpm -i --force RPMS/i386/netdriver*.i386.rpm
