I'm a newbie to Linux...

I did a quick search, and I think it will work with the tulip driver, so I'm
assuming it's a PCI card. If so you should be able to do the following
logged in as root:

echo "/sbin/modprobe tulip" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice
chmod ugo+x /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice

Edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and setup your IP address, netmask, and
broadcast address. Or if you're using DHCP, set DHCP to "yes".

Reboot, and you should be ready to go.

If that doesn't work try running "netconfig" as root. It will probe for
network cards if you want, and will ask you a bunch of other questions about
IP address, etc.

Good luck,
-- Todd
