  I use: 8139too (I have the same card.

  There are several different cards sold with this exact same model
number (I have two of them and they are definitely different since the
newer one did not work with older driver while older one did, this was
confirmed by authors of the driver).

  You need either drivers from scyld.com (don's remeber exact name) or
2.4 kernel drivers (8139too)
