Once it fails to detect the card it will prompt you with a list of modules and types of cards. Since this is a ne2k clone you should select the ne module. It's possible that simply loading the module with no parameters will fail, if so the installer will prompt you for module parameters and you may need to pass it io port and irq info; see the kernel docs for the ne module and/or your card for details. Alternatively, spend $15 on a decent pci network card.. -- see shy jo
