    To load the driver module automatically, add

    natsemi

    to /etc/modules, manually or using modconf or

    alias eth0 natsemi

    to /etc/modutils/aliases or a new file in /etc/modutils and run
    update-modules. To configure the interface, edit
    /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces) or install etherconf (you can
    run dpkg-reconfigure etherconf later to change the configuration).

    best regards
