Delaying eth0 Innitalization

[DJTell]

I installed RedHat 7.2 on a NEC Versa 2635CDT laptop. On the first try everything seemed to work. I just fired it up after a few weeks hiatus and now the NIC isn't working. The NIC is a 3Com EtherLink III PC Card. The card manager seems to recognize it and it was working before. Now during the boot up I get a message that says: Bringing up eth0 interface Delaying eth0 interface [FAILED]. What's up and how do I correct it?

Do you happen to know what module/driver the 3Com EtherLink III uses?

Does

lsmod

show the module as being loaded?

You could try adding

alias eth0 <module name>

to /etc/modules.conf and see if that helps.
