At first you should find out if the tcp/ip stack has already give an ip address to your network device.
So in a terminal fire up a "ifconfig -a"
Then you should figure out if you can ping your address
"ping [your ip adress]

So in /etc there should be a file like hostname.hme0
If you have such a file, then you know the name of the driver, which is for this example hme. [0 as the first interface]
