Get hold of a kernel and decompress it in /usr/src
cd to /usr/src/linux and run make config.

Answer these questions correctly.
...
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) (CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET) [Y/n/?] y
....
Other ISA cards (CONFIG_NET_ISA) [y/N/?] y
....
EtherExpress 16 support (CONFIG_EEXPRESS) [y/m/N/?] y
EtherExpressPro support (CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO) [y/m/N/?] y

Why this card is hidden in the 'Other ISA cards' is beyond me.
