D-Link 604 and Redhat 7.2

I am trying to bring up a box with a DSL connection using a
K7S5A mb with an SIS900 ethernet interface, D-Link604 router
ahead of a Zxyel DSL modem. After quite a bit of trial, I
now can get the SIS900 recognized and brought up. However,
I can't get the D-Link router recognised, and I can't find a
Linux driver for this router; D-Link says they don't have one.
I can run the D-Link nicely from my box under Windoz98SE, but
the box is the same one that I am using for Linux, so can't
try checking back and forth between them. Any help|suggestions
would be appreciated.

You don't need a driver for the router but you will probably need a PPPoE
package to get onto your ISP's network, most ADSL networks use PPPoE. Also,
is your router acting as a DHCP server? If so you will need to have dhcpc.d
or pump running in order to obtain an IP address from the router for your
NIC to use on your lan side. Do an ifconfig to see if you are indeed getting
an address, unless your using a static internal address of course.
