All you need to do is configure the card. At least the device number matched the one for the Linksys card. It is listed as an Abocom System but it not unusual for the PCI ID to be from a different manufacturer. And ifconfig know you have an Ether net interface that is not up and/or not configured.

When I reboot computer I get a red failed and it shows "interface eth0 not found", And it is too fast to read but something about tulip does not seem to be present??
