SOLUTION:
The first step is to use another system and download the kABI tracking kmod-sk98lin package that is available from ELRepo.
As you are running a 32-bit system with a PAE kernel, the package you require is kmod-sk98lin-PAE-10.70.7.3-2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm which can be found here.
Transfer that package to your laptop via some form of removable medium (USB memory stick, CD-RW, floppy disk, etc) and, as root, install it by --
rpm -ivh kmod-sk98lin-PAE-10.70.7.3-2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
Now edit your /etc/modprobe.conf file so that there is one alias line that references the eth0 device --
alias eth0 sk98lin
At this point I would recommend that you re-boot your laptop after
connecting it to a wired Internet source. You should now be able to
configure the system (if necessary) by running system-config-network.
