just set the protocol for you nic to DHCP (under linuxconf)
and linux will setup the rest based on the info it receives from
the DHCP server

question:
Why do you need to recompile / install the driver?
undert /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net be a all the compiled NIC drivers
in module format.
just try insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/net/3c59x.o
is that does not give you any errors then you can proceed to
linuxconf/drakxconfig etc.. to
1) what type of card?
2) what is the chip name on the card?
when I install linux I have to manual select the scsi driver and pass it
parameters for linux to see/use it

Ray,
to the best of my knowledge the cable providers assign ip's etc..
via dhcp
my setup looks like this (in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0)
DEVICE=eth0

you will need to keep your resolv.conf inorder for the dhpc to work.
