In modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 via-rhine

But that only works if the via-rhine module is compiled into the kernel if
I understand things correctly..
So you may need to do a yum update kernel, configure and compile the new
kernel.  (well if you are doing a kernel compile you may as well be doing
it to a new kernel with lots of new drivers built in.. There's a large
difference between the 2.6.11 kernel on the FC4 iso's and the latest
2.6.14 or even 2.6.15-rc kernels.)
