They are.  The initial kernel config screen is for ISA and non-PNP devices which 
might cause hardware conflicts (it lets you disable devices).

Newer PCI cards aren't shown therem but I bet if you do a "dmesg | less", you'll 
find that your NIC is recognized fine.  Or try doing a "dhclient" and see 
whether you can get a DHCP lease.

Hmm.  Bad CD?  Anyway, if you've got enough of an install to have a working 
system, you can always "make world" to be sure that nothing is missing.
