I cannot get Linux to even detect and install the appropriate driver during
installation, therefore I cannot setup the ethernet card nor a LAN.

card
As for myself, I need some more information. Can you PING the Linux box for
another Linux/Windows box ? When Linux loads does it indicate an error when
it
attempts to load the network card driver ? Your card should work perfectly
because I use several of them myself.
