fwe and fwip is the FireWire Ethernet Stuff.
Are you sure that this is the interface you want to use ?

I believe there is an onboard Ethernet Interface, but I believe it's not

unluckily not. Try to figure out wether you have a Windows XP Driver for 
the onboard LAN. Then the NDIS Project (Project Evil) _could_ work.
At least I think it could. Correct me If I'm wrong.


The easiest way would probably be, taking a standard PCI based Ethernet 
NIC and off you go :)
preferable Intel's Ethernet Express Pro ;)
