I asked the same question a few months ago. Same chip on my generic 
PCI card. From memory, use the OS/2 NDIS folder on your floppy, i.e. 
point to this folder when MPTS asks. BTW, the MPTS install dialog is 
bewildering. You need experienced help getting thru this god-awful POS
from IBM. Best find the reply(s) by doing a google search on generic, 
PCI, Warp, Ethernet, etc.
The driver is referred to as "32-bit IO mode PCI Ethernet Adapter" and
this is the one you select in MPTS. Even though on your floppy the 
nif file is named rtl8029.nif or something like that. Once you get 
the hang of MPTS you'll find that it installs easily, and you get a 
bootup screen announcement every time showing the driver is correctly 
installed.
