If you read the wiki then that means you went here:
http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Em2880#Installation
and followed the installation instructions, right?
This will not automagically work out of the box in most linux distros 
that I've tried; you need to DL and compile the modules.
For an ubuntu howto, which is what you have go here:

Google around a bit ;)
