Hi,

Here is what we needed to do to set up the card.

1) Configure the card
1a) add the following line to /etc/conf.modules without the quotes
"alias eth0 eepro100"
Note that it is eepro100 not eepro or eexpress.

2) edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file
2a) add the correct HOSTNAME
2b) change the GATEWAYDEV to eth0
2c) change the GATEWAY (to 131.225.221.200 if you are at DZERO)

3) edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
3a) change BROADCAST (to 131.225.255.255 if you are at DZERO)
3b) change NETWORK (to 131.225.0.0 if you are at DZERO)
3c) change NETMASK (to 255.255.0.0 if you are at DZERO)
3d) change IPADDR (to your network address)

4) run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop"
5) run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start"

That should do it.  I am currently unsure if the ifcfg-eth0 file will be
available, or if it get's generated somewhere along the way.  Also the
addresses should be replaced with whatever the sysads for a particular
network provide for the machine.

Note 1: You may be able to go into X and use netcfg AFTER the conf.modules
step has been done and the system rebooted to do most of the setup.  It is
a GUI that should edit the files mentioned in this note.

Note 2: As delivered my machine had an interrupt collision between the USB
and Ethernet ports.  To resolve this I disabled the printer (IRQ 7) in the
machine BIOS setup.  Then on boot the ethernet board grabbed 7 and resolved
the collision.

P.S. I guess it took more than a couple lines to explain it after all.  :)
