Hallo (again)!! 8-)
I've got that card in my laptop... but i'm not able to configure it!!
They've got experimental support for it; the system requirements are:
-kernel 2.2.x (7.2 has 2.2.17, ok),
-PCMCIA package (pcmcia-cs-3.0.9 or higher) installed and start.
And here is the readme file; please make me know if you've got any idea
about this problem (IMPORTANT!!):

LINUX Driver for 32-bit CardBus Ethernet PCCard
***********************************************************************************
---------
File list
---------
\
README.TXT ----- This file.
REALTEK_CB.O ----- LINUX driver binary file.
REALTEK_CB.C ----- LINUX driver source file.
------------------
System requirement
------------------
LINUX kernel 2.2.x
PCMCIA package (pcmcia-cs-3.0.9 or higher) installed and start.
------------
Installation
------------
1) Copy the realtek_cb.o to the pcmcia modules folder in /lib
( it usually = /lib/modules/2.2.x/pcmcia )
2) Edit the PCMCIA configuration file, there are two file can be edit,
choose one to
make the configuration.
1. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts -- this file will not replaced after
you upgrade
the pcmcia-cs package, so it doesn't need to modify after each
upgrading:
Add the following lines at the end of this file:
# Module for 32-bit CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R5)
device "realtek_cb" class "network"
module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"
card "32-bit CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R5)"
manfid 0x0260, 0x0235 bind "realtek_cb"
2. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config -- this file will be overwrite after you
upgrade the
pcmcia-cs package, it is needed to modify after each upgrading:
a. Add the following lines in the 'Device driver definitions'
section:
device "realtek_cb"
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"
b. Add the following lines in the 'CardBus cards' section (you can
change the
string in 'card' line, as same as the 'Produce info' that read
by the
'cardctl ident' command):
card "32-bit CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R5)"
manfid 0x0260, 0x0235
bind "realtek_cb"
3) Save the configuration file, then type the command (don't care about
the message
'unsolved symbol'):
depmod -a
4) Reboot computer, plug the Ethernet PCCard into the slot before
booting LINUX.
5) During the LINUX bootig procedure, you can hear a high tone beeps, it
means the
PCCard is initialed.
6) Change the network settings if needed.
