No.

Unless you have the proprietary server and software, it's a
pretty useless card.

There were several proprietary Apple II network solutions,
but they all required a special server box and special
server software--sometimes with expiring licenses.  ;-(

Until the Workstation card and Appletalk, there was no
widely-supported networking for Apple II's--and many would
consider even Appletalk to be quite proprietary, just more
widely available!
