detecting eth0

[Karthik Vishwanath]

ifconfig -a shows me "lo" and "ppp0" only. 

ifconfig eth0 outputs the following error: 
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found

lspci shows me a line: 
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900
10/100 Ethernet (rev 90)

So the device is detected, but there is no driver it seems - is that true?
How can I fix that? 

Thanks,

-K
