Ditto that, the driver should be in the kernel already.
If you have Linux installed already and 'running' you can check in
/var/log/dmesg or run the command yourself. and look for something like
this (this is from my machine specifically);
PCI: Enabling device 00:0d.0 (0004 -> 0007)
tulip0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7829 advertising 01e1.
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xca05f000, 00:C0:F0:4F:09:AD, IRQ 23.
PCI: Enabling device 00:0e.0 (0004 -> 0007)
tulip1: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7809 advertising 01e1.
eth1: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xca061000, 00:00:B5:94:83:46, IRQ 24.
the key thing to look for in the output is eth0, you find that, and it
is fully reading your ethernet.
