The prompts listed in the IP-masq howto do not include the prompt for you
ethernet card- you'll need to reply 'Y' to 'CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET'
then if it's a PCI card, yes to 'CONFIG_NET_PCI' and either Y or M to CONFIG_NE2K_PCI
if it's ISA, Y to 'CONFIG_NET_ISA' then
Y or M 'CONFIG_NE2000'.
if you compile it as a module, you'll also need to do a 'make modules; make
modules-install', with support as a module you'll need to specify at least IO port-
not sure about IRQ, but with support in the Kernel it should auto-probe, but if it
doesn't you can add something to lilo.conf
append = "ether=0x260"
i think.
