There is a table there, stating the controller is supported. As well, it
helps you with the Adaptec controller that is onboard as well.
The drivers you want is the Intel eepro100 driver, these cards use an
Intel 8255x chipset. My _guess_ is that the default kernel should work
with this?
As well, that page might help you with any other issues you come across.

Any realtek 8139 based card should easily work, along with almost all
Intel or 3com cards.
