Hi,
am i right that you want to install an ISA NE2000 card?
This is even not possible with Fedora Core 2.
The kernel module for such device is missing. When i remember correctly,
the module is missing not only in the installation kernel, it is also
missing in the installed kernel. You have to install Core 3 and the
kernel source and make your own kernel. But it sounds to be better to 
do this not on your P 350.
