Mike told you what to do about getting it started at bootime, however the
thing to do first is;
modprobe ne.o
That should find the card "IF" it has a standard configuration, you can also
define the i/o port and the irq with modprobe like;
modprobe ne.o io=0x300 irq=5 # Change for your settings.
Now if one of the above finds your card then edit /etc/conf.modules and add
a line as follows;
alias eth0 ne
Use the route command to set a route to the host on the other end of eth0;
route add 10.xx.xx.xx eth0 (example of course).
Now you should be capable of doing;
ping 10.xx.xx.xx
and get pings returned IF the other host has his route to you set correctly
of course.
Possably the best way to add an interface if you dont know how is via the
(root) control pannel under X.
