Are you sure it has not already been autodetected.

With my 3com PCMCIA card in my laptop Control Centre does not list my driver 
either, but yet the card still works.  Running the Configure wizard does the 
same as in your case. It offers me a list which does not include the driver I 
know it needs. If I try to select one of the other 3com drivers, they will 
not load.

If I look at the adapter section in netconf, once again it shows no driver 
loaded. The drop down list does not even offer the driver I know I need.
Yet the card works perfectly.

However if I look at the hardware section in Control Centre (HardDrake)
I can see my Network Card, with the correct driver listed.


Personally I find netconf a much better way if setting up my LAN connection 
than Control Centre (Configuration>Networking>Netconf)
