I have this old network card that I really need to find the drivers for but I don't know anything about it... there's no brand name or anything on the card itself, so I don't really know where to start.

You could start by sticking it in a computer and see if it's automatically recognized or if Windows can find a driver.

Download and run SIW, it should detect the card and give you info about it

It will have a chipset on it, look for a manufacturers name on the chipset.
