To see if your card is installed type 'ifconfig eth0' if it's not then you
must recompile the kernel with supprt for ethernet cards and for the
modell thet you use. To do this the easy way goto /usr/src/linux
and type 'make menuconfig'. Check with your retailer or the card's
company's support too know exactly what modules you want to install.
