Mine's a Realtek clone as well. From my /var/log/syslog:

Sep  3 14:20:07 monster kernel: ne.c: PCI BIOS reports NE 2000 clone at
i/o 0x6100, irq 11.   
Sep  3 14:20:07 monster kernel: ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker
(becker at cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov)
Sep  3 14:20:07 monster kernel: NE*000 ethercard probe at 0x6100: 00 c0
26 80 56 3d
Sep  3 14:20:07 monster kernel: eth0: NE2000 found at 0x6100, using IRQ
11.

I use Slackware on this box, so your mileage may vary with this. When
compiling your kernel (or however it's done in RedHat), make sure you've
got both PCI and the NE2000 configured. Hopefully, the rest ought to
take care of itself..
