Does the standard via-rhine module not support this adapter?

It's possible that the driver doesn't support recent kernels. Does the
documentation with it say which kernels it's supposed to support?

What instructions have you followed (what have you done?)? Do you have
the kernel-devel package for your running kernel installed?
