I once wrote a (maybe a biit lengthy) tutorial at:

http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_NDIS_driver_installation

In short (ten steps):

1. Find the .dos driver for your card. Among your drivers installation files, 
look for a directory called "NDIS2".
2. Get Microsofts free MS Client, f.i. from 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/ftp.gcfl.net/pub/freedos/ms-clients/msclient/DSK3-1.EXE
3. move it to a temporary folder and run dsk3-1.exe
4. expand -r protman.do_
5. expand -r protman.ex_
6. Move protman.dos, protman.exe and netbind.com to a permanent directory f.i. 
C:\NET
7. Get dis_pkt.dos from 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/dis_pkt11.zip and 
copy it to C:\NET
8. Make a file C:\NET\PROTOCOL.INI with the content

[protman]
DriverName=PROTMAN$

[EL3C574]
DriverName=EL3C574$

[PKTDRV]
drivername=PKTDRV$
bindings=EL3C574
intvec=0x60
chainvec=0x68

and replace EL3C574 with the name of your .dos-driver without the .dos ending. 
Sometimes your .dos-driver comes with a .txt file that contains the exact info.

9. Add the following lines to FDCONFIG.SYS:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\NET\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\NET
DEVICEHIGH=C:\NET\EL3C574.DOS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\NET\DIS_PKT.DOS

10. Add the following line to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

C:\NET\NETBIND.COM

That's it. Please correct me, if anything is wrong or just different. It's been 
some time.
