[plug] Looking for network card module

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

Stupid question I use a realtek card on my windblows computer and it 
works fine I've tested it on my linux computer and it works.  The 
default system on my fedora system finds it quite well.  I'll have a 
search around for that module for you.
