pet peeve - "NIC card" is redundant..  the C stands for "card".

Anyway, at this point, I'd suggest trying to reinstall redhat...

when I installed, I went for "workstation".  de-selected a bunch of
stuff that I knew I wouldn't need (don't bother doing this, since i
recall that you're new to linux and might not know what's necessary/not
- just make sure that you have "kernel development" and/or "kernel
source" enabled).  Let the installer do its thing.

After it installs and reboots, grab the driver from your asus CD and
copy it somewhere handy like /usr/src/..   

Now, I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think that the driver needs
/usr/src/linux to exist, but redhat creates a /usr/src/linux-2.4 symlink
instead, so you'll need to create your own:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8 /usr/src/linux

(like I said, I'm not sure about this - I just recompiled it without the
"linux" symlink and it worked fine)

after untar/unzip'ing the driver, cd into its directory (note that it
unzips 2 files and a directory named "src" but does NOT put itself into
an appropriately-named subdirectory) and run "make" - this will get some
errors, but as long as you end up with a "bcm4400.o" file you should be
ok.  Next, run "make install" and then modify your /etc/modules.conf as
you had done previously.

after rebooting, the bcm4400 should list as used by 1 from lsmod, and
`depmod -a` should return nothing.
