I had a realtek card in mine when I first installed slack 8 (keep in mind I just got back into linux from a 2 year gap) and couldn't get it to work right.
I did get it to work after I recompiled a 2.4 kernel with realtek support, but ended up changing it for a 3com card because that's my card of choice.
If I were you, I'd start by putting up 2.4.x kernel
and go from there if that doesn't help.
