Actually Giles, you are probably more on the right track than you
think. IMHO, unless the RH is extremely old and/or the Kernel was
specifically tailored to the old hardware, or the new hardware is
extremely new or exotic, I cannot imagine that it cannot recognize a
common ethernet NIC.

If the OP can provide specific versions,  lspci and dmesg as others
have suggested, it should be quite easy to resolve. If he is able to
boot with the old HD on the new HW then we also need uname -a to get
an idea of what RH and Kernel version we are talking about.

Best,
