It the card PCI or ISA? If it is ISA then add
alias eth0 ne
to some file in /etc/modutils/ (pick a name that you will remember is
your custom stuff, not packaged stuff) and run 'update-modules'. Then
edit /etc/network/interfaces and include the config for the interface
(ie, ip addres, etc or specify using dhcp). If it is a PCI card, then
I don't know the module name but the procedure is the same except for
the name of the module.
