Redhat 7 should support the Realtek 8139 card.
Since it appears that Redhat isn't able to automatically configure it, I'll
give you instructions on how to manually configure it.
You need to edit the file /etc/modules.conf
Look for a line that starts with "alias eth0"
replace it with a line that says "alias eth0 rtl8139"
If you don't have such a line, just add a line to the file saying
"alias eth0 rtl8139"
Then if you've got all of the other networking parameters configured, try
activating eth0. Redhat 7 probably has a GUI program to do this with, or you
can go to a command prompt and type "ifup eth0".
If this doesn't get things working, try going to a command prompt and typing
the following two lines and tell us what happened:
"rmmod rtl8139"
"modprobe eth0"
