The ifconfig command will list the network interfaces. It doen't necessarily 
mean that the hardware is working property. In this case, it seems to be 
working. You can see form lspci. It sais which modules are loaded and 
attached to what device. Anyhow, not you know the card is there. Next thing 
is to setup the networking. In a shell as root type netconfig. Select dhcp 
and ok. Now still as root type the command "service network restart". If you 
see a failed message while it's stopping the service don't worry. It's 
probably moaning because the service wasn't started in the first place. 
Notice that stop|start|restart goes after the service name. So service is 
the name of the command, next parameter is the service name, next parameter 
is start|stop|restart. After doing this you  should be up and running. Let 
me know if you get anymore problems.

I typed this and I think it found my network card. The results are as 
follows:

etho  Link ncap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:E3:F1:28
       BROADCAST MUULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
       RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
       TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
       collisions:0 txqueuelev:1000
       RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
       Vase Address: 0x880

I typed this command but got the following response
start: unrecognized service
