The "easy" way to do it would probably be to use linuxconf. I think RedHat's
netcfg can do this as well. Personally, I like the "text method" below!

Subject: Re: TCP/IP Setup question
I'm not familiar with your distribution, but let's assume that the tulip
driver is compiled as a module and your kernel is auto-loading modules.
Edit your /etc/conf.modules file and insert the line:
alias eth0 tulip
Now when you ifconfig the card (man ifconfig for details), it should
autoload
the module for you.
If you want to load the module by hand, use the insmod command like so:
insmod tulip
and then ifconfig the card. Either way, the driver gets loaded. You can
verify that the driver is loaded by using lsmod.
If you are still having problems, check your system logs (/var/log/messages)
and see if the driver made any complaints about loading. You can see if
the system even has a clue that it is there by viewing the /proc/pci file
and seeing if there is an entry for your NIC.
This is of course the command line version of how to do it. I'm sure there
is
a KDE tool to automagically do this, but I can't remember it off the top
of my head.
