They are not compiled against any distrobution that I know of and are not 
specially for Redhat Linux. After what Linus said about RH 7.0 I doubt he 
will use that.
 
ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm 

I got them on by downloading them and then issuing the "rpm --rebuild 
netdriver-2.1.src.rpm"

Then go to the /usr/src/packages/RPMS directory and you will see an RPM you 
can install issuing the "rpm --force -i -v netdriver-2.1.i386.rpm"

You will have to reboot afterwoods. Check dmesg, or ctrl-alt-F10 and you 
should a date that is 2001 or 2000.

Depending on what card you have be careful changing options, tried it on the 
Tulip driver and had a segfault on eth0, that hung whole boot process. 
Although it could be the card...
