Looks like the module is already loaded. Does 'lsmod' list it? If it
is, it's just a matter of configuring the interface and bringing it up.
In Debian, this is setup in /etc/network/interfaces. Here's mine, I'm
sure you can figure out the bits you need to change. Not that the
broadcast and netmask are optional.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
Just setup yours in that file, then run '/etc/init.d/networking restart'
or simply 'ifup eth0' to bring it up. The 'auto' line means that it
will be brought up during boot, in future, so you won't need to do this
step again. For more details, read the 'interfaces' man page (man 5
interfaces).
