    I hope this will be of help.

    The driver module for this card has been in the kernel for a while. It is called 8139too, and should load automatically. You can check for it in the output of this command.
    Code:
    /sbin/lsmod
    If it is present, then your problems are not driver related. Maybe you need to configure the network connection. This can be done using the "Network" selection in the menu, or by using this command.
    Code:
    system-config-network
    NDISwrapper is for wireless cards, without a Linux driver. This fails both of those tests.
