Add the card to /etc/modultils/aliases

If it is a pci card
 alias eth0 ne2k-pci
otherwise
 alias eth0 ne

Edit /etc/network/interfaces
to look something like this

# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.1.1
     network 192.168.1.0
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     broadcast 192.168.1.255

Then run /etc/init.d/modutils

Truthfully I don't remember if you have to reboot.  Its been so long
since I have done the above I just don't recall.
