try the "wd" modules (isa means io is required, probably 220,240,260,280
or 300) the irq is usually auto detected
i think there is also an smc modules, there are three seperate sections
in the kernel config but i think theya re the same drives "wd" should be
the module you want
eg
modprobe wd io=0x300 [irq=10]
You usually dont need irq
then your usual ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 inet <ip> netmask <mask>
Of course yoru distro probably has files for default setup
Debian is /etc/networking/interfaces
May be the same on some distros *shrug*
