I had a similar experience. Look at the chipset on the card, you my find that
rtl8139 number on the chip. Look in /lib/modules/../net/ for all the modules
available. Look at your /etc/conf.modules/ file to check you setup. You may edit
that directly to change module.
I had trouble getting the sound card and nic going with 7.0 . Had to remove the
nic , configure the sound card and then install the nic. Both were ISA cards and
I used pnpdump to configure.
