Absolutely.

I have this in my notes from when I was running
wife's Win'95 <- eth0 -> RH 5.x <- ppp0 -> Internet
-----
commands for getting network up:
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.0.36-3/net/tulip.o
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.24.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.24.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
/sbin/route add default ppp0
-----
insmod loads the ethernet card driver. (your directory
and driver will be different)
iconfig brings the network up (sub correct IP)
'route add -net' makes the whole network recognizable
'route add default' makes the ppp interface to the internet
the default gateway
Obviously, you're doing something a bit different,
but much of this will be directly relevant.
