In my experience, there is a generic NE2000 driver on the warp install disks.
Using some cheapie clone cards made by GVC, I did manage to find a driver in
the list of available cards... it just took a little bit of trial and error
with the 3 or 4 different NE2000 drivers that MPTS came with.
I'm no longer sure what the name of the driver was that I chose (and since
things are working, I'm not about to go back and do anything in MPTS again
:-) but the driver that config.sys loads is simply called NE2000.OS2 (which
I'm sure, 90% of the NE2000 cards out there call theirs as well...)
