Thanks for your reply. (Note the addition of the original, apparently not
sent, subject.)
While netbootdisk.com looks interesting it is not a feasible solution here.
For one, the machine does not have a floppy drive! Plus, my OS is Win7, which
does not create bootable floppies.
I did see that netbootdisk will find the Marvell Yukon card and use the same
driver that I have. My problem is not that the I can't find the right driver.
It's that the driver does not see that the "controller" is present. I don't
know enough about the MSClient process to tell whether this is the fault of the
driver (yuknd.dos) or the configuration of protocol.ini. That file is
"borrowed" from this discussion. I also added the appropriate lines to
fdconfig.sys.
I remain stumped.

I can do it this way:
1) configure VMware as Bridge PCnet NIC
2) use the drivers from netbootdisk.com for the driver inside VMware.
the guy there is making an excelent job of collecting new drivers
It just works...
