Easy. Go to /etc/network/interfaces (which is a file) and put your data there like this: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your # system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 Concerning the Nic, put the driver name into /etc/modules (which is, again, a file) so that the kernel can load it at boot time. Hope that helps.
