Your ethernet card is also known as a Kingston KNE111TX; see Kingston website here:

It appears to have the DEC 21143 chip:

which seems to be known as the 'tulip' chip. A lot of info on this chipset and instructions for installing a driver for Linux are here:

Hope this helps.

Just found more info. The KNE111TX may not be supported by kernels 2.2.x and higher. The KNE110TX has the same chipset and is put in that class here:

However, this site has access to driver source code and instructions on installing it - scroll down to the 'Obtaining Drivers' heading.
