Yes. That is correct. The driver for the RTL 8029 card is indeed ne2k-pci.
Here is the relevant section from my /proc/pci:

PCI devices found:
  Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 12.  
      I/O at 0x6800 [0x6801].

And /etc/conf.modules:

alias eth0 ne2k-pci

If the card doesn't work, then the problem is probably different. Here are a
few checks you can perform:

1. See if networking is enabled. Look in /etc/sysconfig/network (assuming
RHL).

What exactly do you mean by "this card is not working"? If you cannot
telnet/ping other machines in your LAN, then you ought to check your
nameserver entry, IP address/netmask, the cabling, hub and the card itself.
What does pinging the broadcast address fetch you? I am afraid I cannot help
you without more details about the problem.
