Dell embeds at least one ethernet NIC port on all of our PowerEdge servers
now.   BIOS supports the chip, as well as all OSs, so use it like you would
any other network card.  Because BIOS can use it, you can PXE boot the
machine off of a network file server (instead of off the local hard disks),
a neat feature for installing OSs, running diskless servers, etc.

Dell hasn't yet released a version of OpenManage Server Adminstrator that
supports Red Hat Linux 8.0.  The current release supports RHL7.3.  A new
release should be available in a few weeks which will support RHL8.0.

Thanks,
Matt
