If your netcard is a PCI one, with VendorID 1022 and DeviceID 2000, you have
nothing to do. It will be installed automatically.
Otherwise, you have to provide the .inf and the .sys files in ReactOS/inf
directory, and the netcard should be installed at next reboot.
If it still doesn't work, you have to install it manually as per Wiki driver
page. Don't forget to change the last 0000 subkey to something like
1&xxxxxxxx&xx
