Get a copy of Everest, and see what shows in the Device section.

For example, if I look in Devices:PCI, I can see my LAN chip listed
as:
Device ID: 8086-1019
Subsystem ID: 1043-80F7
You can look up PCI device ID's here.
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids
If I look up my 8086-1019 chip, this is what it lists.
82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
So check the enumeration first, and post the numbers.
If it is PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_2003 (i.e. 1022-2003) then there
is a driver here. Don't bother to download this file, unless
you have a match.

Tecnew appears to have been a contract manufacturer, and the website
is gone now. This is a sample of an archived copy. No drivers I can see.
Which is why tracking down the enumeration is where I'd start.
