> Do ifconfig wvlan0 up <ip address> <netmask>

I'm connected through DSL with DHCP, so I'm not sure what IP address to use.
I tried taking the IP and netmask numbers I found in the TCP control panel while
connected with MacOS, then booting to linux and doing above ifconfig.  I got:

SIOCIFADDR: Invalid argument

I tried 'ifconfig myhostname wvlan0'
(I had already put that recently assigned IP address in /etc/hosts)
and if config then showed wvlan0, but was not connected to internet.

I am also having a problem with another Linux machine I have, pretty much same
deal.
I installed a NIC, and drivers, ifconfig shows card after I ifconfig with an
address, but why is not DHCP supplying an address?
