Um. Redhat 4 is ancient and cannot be used with any modern hardware.
RHEL 4 is much more recent, but still behind the times by one release.
You should also provide the output of "uname -a" since Redhat's
versioning scheme is less consistent than you may know, and not everyone
is familiar with every name that every Redhat release had.

This is why I wanted to see the output fron /sbin/lspci . (And all of
whose base are belong to what?)

There is still not enough information to figure out whether the card can
be made to work or not. Post the relevant info from lspci.
