The easiest way is just to use a live USB-stick or live CD and try it out. The speed (10/100) suggests that is rather old. In general, older network cards are good supported under Linux. This website also suggests that there are drivers for Linux available: http://www.e-store.net.au/e/product.php/56/38/10/100%20Base%201-Port%20Lan%20PCMCIA%20/Cardbus%20Adapter

No, I don't think a VM is sufficient as it will use the Windows driver to talk to the hardware. You can boot the computer from a live CD and see if it is possible to connect to a network. You can also use tools like lshw -short to see if the card is visible from the live CD
