If you compiled it as module, you should add an alias to
/etc/modules.d/aliases
for example: alias eth0 tg3
and run update-modules.
You may also have to add the module to /etc/conf.d/modules for loading at
boot.
Alternatively, you could just compile the driver(s) into the kernel ("Y" in
menuconfig).
