regarding ur ethernet . does it work once its installed as realtek 9128 ?? If not , try these

- Remove the card physically from the computer and boot into redhat , Kudzu will as u if u wanna remove it , choose yes . Attach it back and restart RH and u will be able to configure it .

- If its an integrated card , just disable it in bios

- Try updating to Fedora 3

Regarding windows manager , this might help : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9404

There's no point in reconfiguring your ethernet if the card is giving you same performance right now.

For your information, the Intex RTL8139D ethernet card is based on the Realtek's chipset, so there's no reason to panic.
