NIC not found on Shuttle SB83G5

I've just completed installation of Slackware 10.1 on my new Shuttle SB83G5 barebone system. Unfortunately, the integrated network card has not been automatically identified (ifconfig shows only the loopback). What can I do to make Slackware find the NIC ?

...and a few moments later I was able to fix it myself!
For others with the same problem:
I found Linux drivers on the network chipset manufacturers homepage:

I ran the installation script, simply chose "Installation" and a new kernel module "sk98lin" was created.
I added it with "modprobe sk98lin" and the network was finally reachable.
