Re: NIC problem
Micheal,
I hope your question is better answered in the existing
documentation under www.debian.org or man ifconfig.
And the debian-hppa list (cc'd) is an excellent resource too! :^)
Here's an "offhand" answer:

The kernel support has to be compiled in.
For *most* parisc machines though, I expect the "default"
or standard kernels to find eth0. So I don't think this
is the problem.
AFAIK, ifconfig only reports interfaces that are already configured.
So try "pump eth0" and then ifconfig again or manually "ifconfig eth0"
with the necessary parameters.
