Driver for Linksys Ethernet card

I'm running BeOS Personal R5.03, and it's working great, except for some known issues with my onboard sound (AC97, I'm aware of the problems with it), and networking is not working properly. I have a linksys LNE100TX version 4.1 PCI ethernet card. Under the Devices settings, it appears that the card is being properly detected, but under the Network settings there are no interfaces listed, and even after manually entering all the necessary IP's, I am unable to connect to the internet. I think BeOS only officially supports the LNE100TX up to version 3, is anyone aware of drivers for version 4.1?
I've posted a screenshot of my settings at http://www.appstate.edu/~ec50246/beosscreen.png.

Other cards I've used with success under BeOS is Netgear FA310TX and Davicom based cards. In the more expensive field 3com is the winner.

Summary: I would like to find drivers for the Xwave sound card marked A571-T20 with an ESS Allegro chip bearing no. ES1989S. I can't even tell what model XWave this is. There seem to be features, e.g., SPDIF...
