It's a 3COM 3c509? I think...

I do the ifconfig and get:

[root at www mike]# ifconfig eth2 10.0.0.22 netmask 255.255.255.0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth2: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

Hmmmm.....

What kind of NIC is it, exactly? Many times the module for the NIC will
have a switch that indicates which card you wish for it to be.

If the NIC driver is built into the kernel, on the other hand, it may be
a simple matter as follows:

  ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.x netmask 255.255.255.0
  ifconfig eth2 up
