The fact that you get this kind of output means there's a driver for it.

/etc/init.d/network is the script to edit. Add a line like
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet <addr> netmask <mask> broadcast <bcast> up
to set the interface address etc, and another line
/sbin/route add default eth0
to set the default route in 2.0 kernels. Instead of setting an interface
route you might need to specify a default gateway. The ifconfig and route
man pages are suggested reading in case of trouble. And the ususal 'make
sure the "don't disable VBL interrupt" booter option is _off_' mantra
applies.
