eth0 is a semi-virtual interface. There is not actual eth0 driver,
rather eth0 is "provided" by the actual ethernet driver. I may be
wrong here (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am) but I
believe you can do a 'modprobe pcnet32' and then do
ifconfig eth0 up 1.2.3.4
Otherwise add the following line to /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 pcnet32
