Yes. In general, the kernel itself does not automatically choose drivers
to load.

The "best" way depends on some details.
You state you're running Red Hat. As "root", try running the command
"kudzu" and see what happens. Kudzu is Red Hat's hardware auto-detection
and configuration utility. It may detect your network card and solve all
your problems.
Otherwise... given that "lspci" output, try the command "modprobe sis900".
I believe that's the right driver. Look at the output of "dmesg" to see
details of the result.
