> ifconfig eth0 up

This gives me the message- eth0: unknown interface. Whats happening? If I 
add 'alias eth0 tlan' in the /etc/modules.conf, what have I done? Also I 
realised that if I su in as root from a user account and try a 'modprobe 
eth0' from anyother directory other that /etc it gives me an error 
message! Whats going on? I still cannot find a reference to eth0 in the 
output of dmesg. 

Thanks,
