I have a NIC with a Realtek 8029 and it comes up as ed1. If you read the messages when it boots it should come up with some kind of message mentioning the card. If not you might actually have to install 3.1, but I think that 3.0 detects the card.

Use the generic PCI NE2000 etc driver, they are compatible. > Currently, I'm running NT, and the nic is working fine on IRQ 11, I/O port EF80-EF9F > > Are there any substitutes for this driver, or do I have to rebuild the Kernel? > The GENERIC kernel should have this driver in it, but rebuilding the kernel is always a good idea.
