A quick search on Realtek's site(http://www.realtek.com.tw) seems to
indicate that it is an NE2000 combatible card so just recompile the
kernel for NE2000 support. They also provide Linux drivers but I would
not use those unless as a last resort, chances are the driver is
already in the kernel. The site also has the config utility to run
under a clean(no windows) DOS season to configure the card. Use that
to disable PNP,

Have fun,
