Help Identifying Ethernet Card for LCII

Possible to upload a higher resolution pic? I'm having trouble reading the numbers I would usually google.
My familiarity with LCs is limited, but that looks like a card that plugs into the PDS slot and has two types of Ethernet connectors - RJ-45 (modern standard) and a BNC/10Base2 connector (obsolete, looks like a cable TV plug).
Farallon made a lot of these cards, not sure if this is a Farallon, but you could try Farallon drivers - I'm pretty sure they are widely available online, I don't have the link handy. Asante is another common Ethernet card provider with widely available drivers.

It's a Farallon card. Good luck finding drivers. You can try http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/network.shtmlbut I had a hard time making the downloads work for me.
The Macintosh Driver Museum seems to be dead.

I took another look through my folders. As I recall, I was able to get the attached file to work when networking my IIsi, and I think that's a Farallon card.
This exceedingly dense (but invaluable) site has more general information about Apple drivers you can download to help get a network interface working.

Good luck then. I have an LC II, but with an Asante ethernet card I never could get to work afaik. I had to re-seat the rom chip just to get it to do anything. Back when my Power mac 6100 worked I briefly worked with Netscape 4 I think (4.0.4 is apparently the last version that will work with 7.5.5). There were a number of issues with expired certificates on any https site though.
Is the .sit file damaged? Which version of StuffIt are you using? Maybe you need a newer version. I assume you got the icab .sit from http://www.icab.de/ ?
Maybe you could try a different internet application that isn't a browser. Perhaps something utilizing telnet or ssh?
