Maybe some kind of wine install of the AOL software might work ?
and , for extra hideousness , windriver running its network driver . 

oooh , i feel queasy.

also you could try bringing the connection up in windows and copying the ip settings (winipcfg)
and setting the nic to use the same ones in linux . It might not speak normal dhcp but could work
if the nic gets the right ip .
