  "ifconfig -a" will show you all available network interfaces, even ones
that are down/unconfigured.

  "lspci" can be useful.  Note that all PCI devices will show up in that
list, whether or not the kernel has a driver for them.

  What if you just do:

	ifconfig eth0

  That should show you details about the device.  You can configure an
address with something like:

	ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
