	Make sure you have the right module with modprobe.  You probably
	need "ne" or "ne2k-pci"  For example use -
	modprobe ne
	If it is the right module it should pick up your eth0 and spit
	out a line such as -
	ne io=0x300 irq=10
	stick this line in -
	/etc/modules
	run -
	update-modules
	run -
	ifup eth0

	That should do it.  Try a reboot if it doesn't.
