how to set up NIC

[Richard Lyons <richard@the-place.net>]

I am attempting to install debian on a Thinkpad570 (Woody from CDs, 
using bf24).  I have plugged in a PCMCIA network interface.  How do I 
configure it?  

I've configured /etc/hosts and /etc/pcmcia/network.opts (well, I think 
I have - they look fairly self-explanatory), and I've written an 
/etc/resolv.conf (nothing was provided by the default install, to my 
surprise). I think I have to write some stuff in 
/etc/network/interfaces, but I have no idea what.  And what else will 
I need to configure to get the ethernet connection, so that I can 
install the rest of woody by ftp?

Any help gratefully recieved!
