I have a card like that and it works pretty fine. All you have to do is,
when configuring the kernel with make menuconfig, select the item
	- network device support
Select
	- Ethernet ( 10 or 100 MBit)
and
	- othter ISA Cards.
Then you willfind the item
	- NE2000/NE1000 support
select this, because the Realtek 8029 is a NE2000 clone for PCI. The
drive will find your card and configure it.
