I am having exactly the same problem as Chris. However, my card is a
Silicon Integrated System SiS900, IRQ10. According to what I have
found, it should be supported and use the module rtl8139. When I run
System Setting/Information, the card is showing up under PCI devices.
I ran Lothar and again the card shows up under other devices. I have
tried everything I can think of to get this card working. Right now, I
am at a loss...

it appears as though you have a hardware conflict.
reboot your machine and go into the BIOS and be sure that you have
answered
the "plug and play OS" as NO because linux is not a plug and play OS
(operating system)
then reboot if you still have problems try moving the card to another
slot
and reconfigure it with Drakconf / hard drake.
by the way your 200mhz cyrix processor uses a performance rating so it
probably is in fact a 150mhz processor that performs at the 200mhz
level
(according to cyrix) hence the marking you see on the chip is PR200 or
something similar.
if all else fails try the "netgear fa310tx" netwok card. as a pci card
it
should be auto detected and is supported by just about every floavor
of
linux you can throw at it.
