RE: [Trinux-talk] Data 1 and Data 2 floppies

Jason,
 
netcfg should allow you to configure your interface either manually (enter
IP, Netmask, default route, DNS, etc. ) or via DHCP.  You will probably
first want to make sure a NIC was detected (netcfg will complain if it
doesn't find one, though) by typing dmesg, which will show you the results
of the kernel messages.  For example you would see something like:

3c59x.c:v0.99H 27May00 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xcc00,  00:c0:4f:64:fb:67, IRQ 11
  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface.
  MII transceiver found at address 24, status 786d.
  MII transceiver found at address 0, status 786d.
