Before installing the base system, you select your device
driver modules (assuming they have been installed). The NIC modules
should include the Pro100. (look in net devices).
If the system detects a network device, then it asks if you want
to configure the network. Then you edit /etc/network/interfaces and
run ifup eth0 and you should be connected.
