Then simply reboot, set up /etc/network/interfaces with something along the lines of: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 127.0.0.1 (obviously adjusting as necessary), and then run modconf and load the module. Note that gateway is critical as it determines the routing of packets going out of your machine. You may well need to initially use the route command to display the routing tables and/or modify them.
