Make sure you have the right module with modprobe. You probably
need "ne" or "ne2k-pci" For example use -
modprobe ne
If it is the right module it should pick up your eth0 and spit
out a line such as -
ne io=0x300 irq=10
stick this line in -
/etc/modules
run -
update-modules
run -
ifup eth0
That should do it. Try a reboot if it doesn't.
