If you've loaded the kernel module for your network card ( or your kernel
supports it) the only thing you'll have to change is /etc/network/interfaces.
Tip: Take a look at /usr/doc/netbase/examples/interfaces
and bring the interface up with "ifup ethXX"
( if you like the windows style -> reboot )
The dns-server config to /etc/resolv.conf, man resolv.conf has all the
information you need.
