I know nearly to nothing 'bout Network cards - i may be totally wrong
here and i even forgot the DFI Cards name i got installed once, but

Why not try to insmod/modprobe some of the driver modules from 
/lib/modules/x.y.zz/net ?

The module will tell you when it was able to initialise the card.

For this card i'ld start with de4x5.o and tulip.o.

wishing success, martin
