I *think* this the eepro100 driver.  The driver will either be compiled in
the kernel or compiled as a module.  If it's a module, then it will be in:
    /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
With a stock install, I'm pretty sure it installs the driver as a module.
This means you'll need to update /etc/modules.conf.

Comment out the line(s) that have 'alias eth0 ...' (for backup purposes)
and add one that looks like:
    alias eth0 eepro100
Then, as root, type ifup eth0.
