I did    route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

but      ping 192.168.1.1     still tells me:
from 192.168.1.10: destination host unreachable

route -F now returns this:
destination / gateway / genmask / flags / metric / ref / use / iface
192.168.1.1 /   *      / 255.255.255.0 / u /  0 /  0  /  0   / eth 0
192.168.1.1 /   *      / 255.255.255.0 / u /  0 /  0  /  0   / eth 0
127.0.0.1  /    *      / 255.0.0.0   /     u   /  0   /  0  /  0  /  lo
default / 192.168.1.1 / 0.0.0.0 /  ug    /  0   /   0  /  0  / eth0

trying out everything that is getting posted, I also tried
route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 eth0
but           siocaddrt: file exists

Just as a side thought, could all of these problems be from the fact that RH
incorrectly identified the NIC and loaded an incompatible driver?  Or is it
just a configuration thing that I need to work out?
