Ethernet devices names are `eth0', `eth1', `eth2' etc. The first
card detected by the kernel is assigned `eth0' and the rest are assigned
sequentially in the order they are detected.
Once you have your kernel properly built to support your ethernet card then
configuration of the card is easy.
Typically you would use something like (which most distributions already
do for you, if you configured them to support your ethernet):
root# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
root# route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
