There is a patch/backport of the megasas driver for RH 7.2. 
http://linux.dell.com/files/megaraid_sas/rhl7.2-backport/

This and the RHEL 3 megasas driver package, http://ftp.us.dell.com/SAS-RAID/mega_r3.tgz, might help you if you _have_ to run RH 9.


The bnx2 driver, I can not find anything pre RHEL 3.
