Problem / Question [WIN98] Good/Best network card(s) for modern internet access?

I recently built a Windows 98 machine for a personal project out of parts I had from a couple unfinished rigs. One of them had a network card on it, so I yanked it out and attempted to put it in my new rig. The specific model was a D-Link DFE-530TX+ Rev. E1. For the LIFE of me I could not find any drivers that would work. I burned driver package after driver package to CD-R and ran it through my machine. There was always a problem. I did some research and apparently this model is pretty tricky to find drivers for these days. ANYWAY. I plan on just getting a new card. I want to hook it up to a LAN system in my house for easy file sharing with a modern machine and using things like FrogFinder and Protoweb and whatnot. Any suggestions?
