Getting a 98SE box online

So I've started the task of getting some older hardware online for certain scientific purposes. I've got four computers right now, all various forms of PIIIs (450 MHz to 1 GHz), and all of them running fresh installations of Windows 98 SE. (And before anyone asks, we've got the licenses for them.)

Problem is, two of the boxes can't seem to find the right driver for the onboard LAN. Searching online for drivers has proven fruitless as well.

Short of plopping down the seven bucks to get a new NIC and put it in, is there any way to get these things on the network?
