I'm having trouble configuring my network parameters.  I can't get the
system to use a host other than localhost (127.0.0.1).  Here is the
situation/issues that I've got:

I've got an Intel 32-bit PCI ethernet card (I think its a Pro/10 but I'm
not sure; I can find out if it matters).

During installation (2.2.1), everything went OK but the installation never
got to the Ethernet board network configuration part of the installation as
shown in the installation guide.  I got a list of serial/parallel devices
(lp0, etc) with no ethernet board on the list (the install guide shows ed1
as an example of what one would see here.  Do I see none because the
Ethernet board is PCI?.  Consequently, it never asked me for the host name,
IP address, gateway, etc.  I chose cancel at the list of SLIP/PPP devices
and it went on to other things.  When I do an ifconfig -a I get the lo0
loopback device (I can ping it also) but I don't get anything else (other
than sl0, tun0 and lp0).  Shouldn't I see ix0 or ed0 of something like
that?  What is the name of the interface I should use?  If I ifconfig any
of the above I get a message that says the interface does not exist..
Also, during boot up the system detects the Intel Ethernet board at
pci0:13: and gives some int and irq info and says [no driver assigned].
Should it be assigning a driver?  Why can I ping localhost but can't get
any other host/ip address assigned to my network card?

I defined 10.0.0.2  myname (the default) in etc/hosts.  When I try to ping
this I get no route to host.  However, I can't add a route because I get
network is unreachable.  Basically, all I want to do is define an interface
and host name/IP address other than localhost and be able to ping it.  I
can't get that far.  What's going on?

Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks
