How do I set up my network adapter and stick an IP address on it? Also, is there a tutorial in English?

To quote the heading of this section, "If your hardware is not detected, please post a full output of 'lspci -v' and all relevant information about your hardware."

That having been said, what model of network interface card do you have? More information is needed.

As for the English-language tutorial and FAQ, just look around...
