SuSe 9.0 Network install (via ftp)

Just yesterday I decided to try and fool around with updating my current version of SuSe from 8.1 to 9.0 via SuSe's ftp. I found a somewhat helpful instruction on a website but it didn't go into detail about how to issue parameters to the network card chosen to be used to tap into the ftp site for pulling down SuSe 9.0. Does anyone know where I can pick up some instructions on this aspect of installing SuSe across the wire. Btw, I am using a Netgear FA311 10/100 NIC and it doesn't list this driver in it's possible drivers list. Knowing how to install this driver "on the fly" for my attempt at this update would help out immensely.

Thank you,

Glorios
