I think all he has to do is to bring in the module first
(from his email it sounds as if he is not doing this), then
activate the interface.
# insmod eepro100.o
# ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.44.56
That ought to do it. Use your address. Netmask and broadcast
should be generated automatically.
To see the results, use ifconfig with no arguments and
you should see if the card is up. If you get error messages,
investigate them.
# ifconfig

[The above is for a pcnet32 AMD pci ethernet 10/100 card running
at 10 mbps).
If the above works, check your routes. Then you will have to
figure out how to have Linux do it automatically at boot time.
