Hi,

Is the network card you're trying to get to work ISA or PCI? If it is
ISA 
or if the drivers requires parameters, they will have to be passed to
the 
kernel at boot. If it's a loadable mdule the paramters are passed to the

driver when the module is loaded.

If you're building modules, you have to load the module using modprobe
or 
insmod. I believe the initscrips include support for /etc/rc.module
which 
would be the place for all your insmod statement if you're using kernel 
modules.
