Anyone know hoe to configure a network card in Fedora Core 2?

| Hi,
I instlled a 3COM 509TX in an already installed Fedore Core 2 system.
I accidentally bypassed the "Add new hardeare" wizard on boot. When
rebooting, the wizard no longer shows; is there a way to get it back?
My problem isd that when I try to manually coinfigure it (using KDE)
via teh network configuration tool, it sees the hardware and allows me
to configure as eth1 upon attemtping to activate, I receive the error
message:
"3c59C device eth1 does not see4m to be present, delaying
initialization"
The NIC is fine and has been tested under Windows XP.
I'm lost,
Don

# kudzu
To always run kudzu on each boot (not necessarily a good thing):
# chkconfig kudzu on

That is most likely because the driver module is not loaded. Try running
kudzu as above. You can also manually add the required line
to /etc/modprobe.conf, which associates a hardware identifier with its
required module.
Example entry in /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias eth1 3c59c
To test this module directly:
# modprobe 3c59c
