Regarding:

  1.3 What do I need to to get ethernet working?

  As a quick overview, you need to: 1) have a plug in ethernet card or
  motherboard that has ethernet support built in, 2) determine the brand
  or make and model of the ethernet card or on-board ethernet chip, 3)
  determine if a linux driver for this model of card/chip does exist, 4)
  locate and load this driver, 5) check driver output to verify it found
  your card, 6) set or configure network parameters for the newly
  detected network interface.

The document should mention that it only covers 1-5, and tell where
one should look to find out 6.

Yes, he mentions this fact on Ethernet-HOWTO.html, but should repeat it here
on Ethernet-HOWTO-1.html .
