Add the card to /etc/modultils/aliases If it is a pci card alias eth0 ne2k-pci otherwise alias eth0 ne Edit /etc/network/interfaces to look something like this # automatically added when upgrading auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Then run /etc/init.d/modutils Truthfully I don't remember if you have to reboot. Its been so long since I have done the above I just don't recall.
