    You need the mkiss module loaded as well,
            modprobe mkiss

    The mkiss module is not included with Red Hat Linux if I recall correctly,
    so you will have to rebuild your kernel. There is a Kernel-HOWTO avalilable
    to help guide your through the process if you are not familiar with it.

    I will note that Red Hat Linux 7.3 is beyond the "end-of-life" support
    from Red Hat Inc., you might want to consider Red Hat Linux 9 or Fedora
    core 1 as possible replaces in the near future.

    Good luck, and I hope that helps,
