You don't. You load the driver for it and configure the interface.
There are probably fancy deb scripts for this, but why bother? Look in
your /etc/init.d/networking script and see what it wants. After adding
an alias for eth0 to /etc/modules.conf with update-modules, you want
to put the machine IP details in /etc/hosts and somewhere where ifup eth0
will find them.

That's an isa card. You need to turn off PnP on the card and load the
3c509 module.

Well, like do you have a static IP or not? If it's served via dhcp, you
need to run a dhcp client.

ahhh, okay I see your problem you can apt. Okay did you use a cd there you
can still do the first step.
if not "modprobe 3c509" to load the module

err well /etc/init.d/networking looks at the /etc/network/interfaces file
which from memory looks like this.
auto eth0
interface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.4
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway ....

I have one that was detect but mine is not running in pnp mode it was
disable when I got it. If however it worked under redhat and connect to
places it is already off.
remember thought the 3c509 module will need to be give the irq info etc.

install pump or dhclient for this and change the word static in
/etc/network/interfaces to dhcp and remove the pointless options.

Well, I suppose a dpkg-reconfigure networking might do it "the debian
way". I wouldn't bother.

Yo, mama. I just want this guy to go read some of his scripts and quit

It may need the io port. It's been a long while since I've used one,
and modern drivers certainly can do without at least one of irq and io
info.

Yep.
Incidentally, dhclient, when run standalone, for me never changes the
ip address, just reports it on the command line. I then go and change
things manually. The man page leaves me with the impression that it
is supposed to do the ip configure, except <under incomprehensible
circumstances>. Do you know anything about this?

I like to help people, and assume most people have looked round first, if
not the help normally is worthless anyway.

Not really nether ran it in standalone execpt on my SuSE 6.1 router. (maybe
I should update named on it).
