I had a similar problem when I did a clean install of 7.5.5 on my Quadra 630
with Comm Slot ethernet card.  Mine was not an Apple card though, there were
no obvious manufacturer's marks on it.  I couldn't get the ethernet card to
work with the fresh system folder and of course I had thrown the previous
system folder away already.

My problem was solved when I checked the Mac Driver Museum's network page:

I looked at the chips on the card, and the names of the drivers, and found a
match.  The biggest chip on the card said "Sonic", and there was a driver
from "Sonic Systems".  The installer recognized my card, and the day was
saved.
