ethernet installation in sun machine

Dear CentOS users,

I have installed CentOS-4.4 in sun machine which has on board ehternet adapter (Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet). I want to have one more ethernet adapter. I fixed D-Link DFE-520TX in the PCI-slot given. I want to install that ehternet adapter. Can anyone guide me to install it, since I haven't done before. Many thanks in advance.

Did you try just plugging it in and seeing if it's recognized?

Be aware that if PCI slot id 64-bit your controller may not work and you will need special 64-bit controller.

Thank you foxb,

mine is a 32-bit controller, and I got it working too. Thank you very much for your help.
