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.

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).
