John,

I  have some pc's at work with microsoft nics in them, and I am not sure 
what the model numbers are.  I do know that they all use the realtek 
8139 chip.  I would try something like  modprobe 8139 or modprobe 
8139too and see if the linux drivers for that chip load.  ( There are 
two different modules for the two different revisions of the chip.)  It 
would help if  looked for something to identify the chipset on the card 
and post that with your request.  AFAIK linux supports just about every 
current 10/100 ethernet chip on the market.
