Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up ISA NIC On An Old Machine?

Somebody gave me an old Celeron 333MHz system w/ 96 MB RAM and I thought I would set it up as a little torrent server. So I installed Ubuntu server on it, but it does not see the NIC. I know the NIC functions because the person was using it hooked up to a network until a few days ago. Unfortunately, it's an ISA-based NIC and not PCI and my understanding is that I have to pass it IRQ and DMA settings to get it to work. Unfortunately, I wiped the windows 98 partition without thinking of snagging those settings. First of all, lspci does not show the hardware AT ALL. Here's the output I get:

Code:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX/EX - 82443LX/EX Host bridge (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX/EX - 82443LX/EX AGP bridge (rev 03)
00:04.0 USB Controller: OPTi Inc. 82C861 (rev 10)

[code]...

The machine is an old 'Compaq Presario 5050' with a really crappy BIOS that doesn't really offer any help. I read a post somewhere that trying to load the 'ne' driver should work, so I tried:

sudo modprobe ne

and it came back saying "no such device".
