I'm not an expert on this, I just know how to make it
run on my machines.
I need to define my isa ethernet card in /etc/conf.modules
in order to get it to work.
Otherwise, the dreaded SIOCSIFFLAGS error comes up.
My PCI ethernet works fine without any conf.module entry.
In conf.modules there is a line:
alias eth0 ne
then further down you set the options irq, and io of eth0
Mine is a ne2000 compatible, so I use ne, but you would need to
to use 3c509.
