/dev/eth0 missing

["Marc Sherman" <msherman@myrealbox.com>]

I just installed potato, and installed the NE2000 driver
(ne) for my ethernet card.  I manually set the "option=..."
and "alias eth0 ne" lines in modules.conf, and it loads 
correctly on boot (printing a success message to the console).
However, when I look in /dev, there is no /dev/eth0 device;
am I supposed to create this device manually?  I looked at
the /dev/MAKEDEV script, but it doesn't mention eth0 at all.
Also, I have a second network card in the machine; should I
install this as eth1?

Thanks,
- Marc
