Just installed debian 3.0... I'm using an Intel Pro/100 VM NIC. It
did not install for some reason during install. The following came
from a Windows log file:
I should be able to use modprobe to load driver right? What driver do
I use? How can I find a list of available drivers?
     

The file '/etc/network/interfaces' manages your network, (man
interfaces).

Thanks... I did modconf and when I do lsmod, I can now see it.  It shows
as follows:
Module        Size          Used by
eepro100     14888            0    (unused)
How do I now check to see if it is the correct driver, and how do I go
about configuring it... (giving it an ip address)?  Why does it say
(unused)?
 

As Greg said, "man interfaces". Basically you just edit 
"/etc/network/interfaces", like so:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This entry was created during the Debian installation
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
        address         aaa.bbb.xxx.yyy
        netmask         255.255.255.0
        gateway         aaa.bbb.xxx.qqq
