The 8029 is compatible to the NE2000. Regarding the GNU Hurd Hardware
Compatibility Guide (
http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/hacking/hurd/hurd-hardware.html ) 
GNUMach supports the PCI NE2000.

In Linux you can try the command 'dmesg' to show all your boot messages.
If you get your card to work under Linux, you should see it there. If it
does not show up, the driver could be loaded as module. Try 'lsmod' to
view all loaded modules.

Please give exact information about your (if working) Linux config.

I don't know if ISA NE2000 wurks with the Hurd. Perhaps someone can give
more exact information about NE2000 drivers status. For my
understanding, the NE2000 is verry common, so there should be quite
some  practical experience.
