Assuming the NICs do not have lots of jumper blocks with the jumpers
missing, then you can simply try them all out.  Install a NIC, boot
into DOS, then load LSL and then try all of the <NIC>.COMs you can
find.  These drivers can be found on the first two of five DOS/Windoze
client disks that come with NetWare (using INSTALL.NLM).

If you're clever you could even write a script like this

----- TEST.BAT -----
lsl
ne2000
if not errorlevel 1 goto quit
3c5x9
if not errorlevel 1 goto quit

.
. etc
.

:quit
--------------------

Any good editor will allow you to create this script file from a
DIR *.COM >>TEST.BAT in a matter of a few minutes.
