Modular.  Red Hat is modular as most distros are.

Hello Linux Users:

If I installed a Redhat 7.2 OS on my computer from a 
CD, but so far have not configured anything and added
cards with Redhat's 'plug and play' ability, what type
of Kernal do I have?  Would it be monolithic or
modular?  I need to know this becuase I'm installing
a NIC card on my system. I haven't rebuilt or compiled
my kernel yet.

The instructions have versions for both a monolithic
and a modular kernel.

My NIC card is a Netgear FA310TX PCI.
Thanks in Advance
