You'll need the drivers disks too then. The basic root and rescue disks have no modules because of the limited capacity of floppy disks. There are a bunch of driver disks that can be downloaded from the same place you got the root.bin and rescue.bin files. If you have access to a CD burner, you could simply download the entire CD iso and install from there. It may be easier than trying get the network driver for your card. -D PS. I didn't recognize any of the files in that list you sent me. Drivers (by themselves) usually have much less source and are sometimes are contained in a single file (for example the tulip driver).
