I don't remember exactly how I found it (might have been a search, might 
have been the ELrepo driver update disk page, don't remember), but you 
can look at 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/hardware-enablement_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8 
and get an idea.  The ELrepo DUD page ( 
http://elrepoproject.blogspot.com/2019/08/rhel-80-and-support-for-removed-adapters.html 
) has other pointers.  I used an ELrepo DUD myself to install C8 on a 
Dell PowerEdge 1950; worked fine, just had to remember to enable ELrepo 
before updating to 8.2.2004 yesterday.  You can get the actual PCI ID by 
using lspci -n and grep the output for the PCI bus enumerator (04:00.0 
in your case).


Using the DUD was dirt-simple: dd the DUD ISO to a small USB key, have 
the USB key in a USB port during installation, install picks up anything 
with a label of OEMKEY.  The ELrepo pages say more.
