If you have the kernel source you can rebuild the kernel with support for it or as a module.

It's going to be the WD card listed in 10 or 100 Mb cards section
I think it's WD 80*3
turn on Western Digital/SMC Cards and you will see it.

"PCMCIA/CardBus support" is in the "General setup" section
Once you turn that on you will get "PCMCIA network device support" in the "Network device support" section. go there and turn on "NE2000 compatible PCMCIA support"
