Yup, you don't have a driver for it.
No, you can't use a PC driver, even in emulation.

If you have a 3Com EtherLink III PCMCIA card -- which is very cheap and
inexpensive to find -- the driver I maintain here has a pretty good
track record with the 5300 and 1400 (I myself use it on my 1400).

It should work fine in 7.5.2.
