Very Computer

I just got an el-cheap-o PC.  It seems to have everything build onto the
motherboard, including the NIC.  It works fine with Win98, but how can I get
Linux to see the NIC?  It's not any brand listed in the list of Linux NICs
supported by the kernel.  Do I need to use "ifconfig" and give the i/o
address, irq, hardware address, and stuff like that?

Thanks

The brand is irrelevant, it's the chipset that matters. Do you know what
it is? You may find some info in Windows' system configuration.
