I've installed redhat 7.2 in workstation mode and none of my PCI devices were detected during installation. My AGP video card was detected and setup succesfully.
My PCI devices are
1. Netgear FA311 NIC (driver natsemi)
2. D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC (driver rtl8139, I think?)
3. Creative Vibra 128 sound card (driver es1371)
However it seems Kudzu does know they are there as the following entries are in my /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file (if I delete this file and rerun kudzu the same file is made again, ie - it detects them but doesnt offer any setup options).
Here is my /etc/sysconfig/hwconf;

How do I get linux to load the drivers for these devices, I thought you could do it by adding alias lines in /etc/modules.conf but this didnt seem to work. I guess my question really is how do you install drivers for devices manually (or after the OS installa.)
Might it have something to do with not having the BIOS option for PNP OS's selected during install time. Last I checked it was on but I cant remember if it was or not when I installed linux.
I can also point out I have installed this very same audio card and FA311 card on another PC with RH7.2 before and it went fine. The DFE-530TX+ is an unknown however.
In case it helps here is my /proc/pci
