Have you PCI's ID for the NIC ?

For list PCI's ID use on the old computers "lspci -n" with the liveCD.

And choose in the menu the NIC with the PCI's ID on the
http://rom-o-matic.net

Choose on the menu "ROM output format"  floppy bootable ROM for diskette or
ISO Bootable image for CD Boot

Generate image with "Get ROM" and download on your PC with floppy or CD burn

and create diskette " dd if=image-disk.zdsk of=/dev/fd0 "
or burn image.iso on the CD

Bye

also, the instructions at http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted say i need
