I _really_ like modconf. I use it to add/configure modules into my system.
Just run the command and read the directions. The "hardest" thing about it
is knowing what group the driver your using falls under. In this case it
should be "kernel/drivers/net".

Whatever one you want, as long as it works for your setup ;). I use the
dhcp-client package without any issues.
