Suitable drivers for the onboard network card? Most likely they're already there. The first thing you have to learn about Linux is that almost all of the drivers for currently existing hardware get installed with a normal old vanilla distro install, knowing which ones to load, that's the trick. Each distro has their own cute "auto configurator" of some flavor, but something almost always falls a bit short.
From the command line:
/sbin/lspci
and post back with whatever it has to say about ethernet controller.
Also, it might have already loaded the driver for the card, what's in: /sbin/lsmod
