I am installing NetBSD 1.0 and I would like it to use an ethernet card
for a TCP/IP connection. However, I am totally ignorant about installing
ethernet cards in UNIX machines. From what I understand, it is not as
simple as sticking it in and installing some drivers.

Please, point me in the right direction. If you have installed an
ethernet card to talk via a TCP/IP connection, let me know how it's
done.
