["David Reid" <dreid@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It should start threads for all devices it's found. To assign an IP look at
the code and find where it talks about tulip0, change this to your card and
it'll assign IP addresses. In fact that might be the reason as the card may
not be marked as IFF_UP and thus the threads won't start.

Try that :)
