Redhat 7.2 + P4 with Hyperthreading

OK this has me bumfuzzled, I installed RH 7.2 on a new Intel 865GLC based system and the on board nic card isn't being detected, so blew it off and put on RH 9.0 as a test, and the nic worked fine. That's the first problem (that can be solved by putting in a pci nic and calling it a day).

Anyway the first time I installed 7.2 it detected 2 cpus (the hyperthreading) and RH 9 only showed one and when I reinstalled 7.2 it NOW shows 1 cpu too. Still doesn't see the nic either.

So anyone know what I might be missing here? Is it normal for it to use the SMP kernel for this chip or was that some kinda fluke?

Also if you know how I can get the onboard NIC working let me know Redhat 7.2 + P4 with Hyperthreading lsmod on the RH9 installed showed "ee100" as the module for the nic.
