The KDE configuration tool shows all the correct informatin for the 
eth0. LISA shows that the device doesn't exist or that the module for
it isn't installed. It then directs me to the module configuration
which shows that there are no modules available to load. I wonder if
the ne2000 module didn't get installed. Nothing I've looked at seems
to indicate that the module is even there.
