Folks,
I am trying to get familiar with Debian, I have a Tosh 490xdt which I am
installing it on. Seems most stuff is coming up but the network piece. I
have PCMCIA WiFi card in it (senao card which uses the prisim chip
set) but it appears that a eth0 entry was not created in the system.

PCMCIA appears to come up if I do a lsmod I see all of the modules in
there, the WiFi card even lights up a small pilot LED when the PCMCIA
stuff starts running and beeps.

But when I do a ifconfig, all I see is the 'lo' entry, no eth0 or any other
assigment.

Trying to figure out what I have not done correctly.
