okay, that's Good, it means your kernel sees and happily loaded the
driver for your card.

actually, it was probably just waiting for input. if you don't specify
the file to grep through on the cmdline, grep assumes stdin. try just
"grep foo", and give it some input by entering lines with and without
the string foo in them to see what i mean. ctrl-c kill(1)s your current
process.

i was using the "#" to indicate you needed to do the command as root
(as opposed to "$", which means as anyone)... you didn't type that part
in, did you? if you didn't and just nothing showed up, put these two
lines in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
then do
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

are you doing this as root? it's possible that it's not in your path for
some reason. try again but with /sbin/ifconfig instead of just ifconfig.
do this after making sure that the above is set up, and see if you get
an ip address. if you don't, you can set it manually with the same
program.
