It basically comes down to determining exactly which chipset it uses, then
correctly aliasing it to the proper ethernet driver. The file /etc/conf.modules
should have something like the following in it:
alias eth0 3c589
which tells the kernel the kernel to load the 3Com 3c589 driver when a request
for eth0 is made.
Did the installation procedure not properly find the controller?
