Sounds like the system is lacking driver support for the card that 
you're using.  You should see if the vendor offers drivers for Mac OS 
X, otherwise you'll probably want to look into finding a card that is 
supported by Mac OS X.  Have you gone into the network control panel 
and checked to see if it finds the card and you simply need to 
configure it separately?

Oh, and do yourself a favor, loose Internet Exploader! :^)
