Yes. Here's what I did
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
Answer Y to the the question about ethernet. Answer Y to EtherH :-)
make a new kernel.
reboot.
Kernel recognises network card.
Make sure /etc/sysconfig/network contains lines such as:
HOSTNAME=Bagpuss.unfortu.net
DOMAINNAME=unfortu.net
GATEWAY=138.253.4.1
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
and that your resolver config maps your hostname to your IP address.
(It worked for me. I'm not sure what I've forgotten)

Try compiling it. It should do.

I appear to have fvwm as my default window manager. :-)
Not sure where the system xdefaults are (may be setup dependant) but have a poke
in ~/.Xdefaults and see if adding things there solves anything. You can run X
without a window manager. You can also run X with the window manager running on
a remote machine (you've mentioned that Ethernet card...) I used to run mwm on
a SunOS box, with mwm actually on a machine half a mile away.

No idea. Sorry

Hope this helps,
