# which tools are you talking about? If it is KDE hardware listing it 
doesn't
# mean that your card's driver is built in your kernel or

dmesg |grep eth

# in your terminal to see if you card is loaded at start up.
# if you don't see it you might have to load it as a module:
insmod driversname

 # if your card is loaded at start up you can configure it with by using 
the /programs/system/network configuration
# if you need to rebuild a new kernel go to YDL website, there is an 
howto for that.
