Mac OS 8 has a fairly advanced system extensions manager. It should be 
in the control panels. If you run that, you should be able to tell if 
your mac-side lan stuff got installed. If you don't think it did, run 
the installer again and do a custom install. Make sure the network 
stuff is selected.

Well, I wouldn't want to do that, myself.

     Complaining about systems that are incomplete misses the point.
     In this world, a system can't be perfect and useful at the same 
time.
     Of course, there's no excuse for refusing to fix problems --
     we'll never run out of problems.
