Someone answered this a few posts ago.
Just download the kernel (2.2.10 i believe) from 
kernel.org.  Download the config file from the trinux 
web site.  Do a make menu config, add support for your 
network card, and copy the new kernel to the trinux 
floppy.  There are more steps to this, read the HOWTO on 
building the kernel.  You don\'t need a 5.2 machine.  I 
built support for a new card on a Redhat 6.0 machine, 
and it worked fine.  You may need the driver.o file from 
the manufacturer if it is a weird card.
