[PLUG] Debian NIC Troubles

I added Debian's 'testing' distribution to the sources.list file,
updated over 300 packages, and now the system has lots of shiny toys to
play with!  ...and one less working NIC: eth0 is gone.

Points of fact:

1. netstat -a shows only the loopback.

2. kudzu saw and configured the NIC (it's an Intel 8259a IIRC) but
   after a reboot, there's still no eth0.

The million dollar question is: how do I inform the system of this NIC?

Thanks a bunch,
Joshua

PS Pointers to FAQ's, HOWTOs, docs, would be great. I can read, I'm
   just not sure where to start.
