If you installed from a floppy disk or DOS drive and your ethernet card
was not listed in the modules install section, you will need to compile
a new kernel with the correct card selected and compiled as a module or
into the kernel, your choice. For a proxy server I would compile it into
the kernel and eliminate as many other kernel additions as possible, by
making all other really necessary items as modules.
