A lot of this sort of stuff is in the Ethernet HOWTO,
/usr/doc/Ethernet-HOWTO.gz on your system or
<URL:http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html>.

Have a look at this and see if you can get started.

A Debian-specific note: You can set up the modules semi-automatically, 
like you got a chance to do a boot time, with the program "modconf".
