modules reside in /lib/modules/kernel_version_number if you have the stock
kernel installed frm the distribution cd then just copy the module needed to
/lib/modules/$kernel_vers/net
modprobe should install the module, most modules "autoprobe" for network
cards.
Edit /etc/conf.modules
alias eth0 wd
where eth0 is the ethernet interface and "wd" Western-digital is the card,
This will allow kerneld to attach the interface at bootime, (if used).
