network card problems



I have a DE-220PCT ISA network card which is in a 486 PC.  And my goal is to eventually  have this P.C. as a client on my NT network.  I am completly new to this and don't really know what I'm doing. I have the network HOWTO (generic network configuration information) but i'ts not helping! I ran diagnostics on the network card and it appears to be o.k. I ran the following command and got the following error:
 
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
eth0:Unknown interface.
SIOCSIFADDR:Operation not supported by device
eth0:Unknown interface.
SIOCSIFNETMASK:Operation not supported by device
 
Please don't tell me that the network module isn't compiled into kernel! (I haven't messed around with compiling the kernel, it scares me!)
 
Somebody please help me...
