Installing ISA NE2000 card in XP

The XP install CD does not seem to have the network
drivers that NT had. After a fresh install I can only
see Microsoft Loopback network driver.

How can I install a NE2000 compatable ISA network card in XP.

Where can I download a suitable driver?

I'm a fresh here...

For NE2000 compatible cards (most ISA can be switched to this mode):
* take windows 2000 installation CD
* copy netnovel.in_ and netcfgx.dl_ to your HD.
* expand the files
    * expand netnovel.in_ netnovel.inf
    * expand netcfgx.dl_ netcfgx.dll
* Install NIC using netnovel.inf

Works for me (UMC BNC NIC in non-PNP mode)
