I can't understand (Configure a network interface).
Is there is a tutorial?

By this point you should have taken the time to review some of the information on the LQ Site FAQ to help you with asking more effective questions. Please do so and improve the question you've asked.

like which type cat5, wifi, modem etc... type card you're using, is it being seen by system, if that is relevant only because it is not being seen, etc..

$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1

It's better to use your distribution network setting method because ifconfig settings are lost on next system boot

# dhclient -4 -v eth0

Depending on your networking setup. For DHCP-less systems more like this:

# ifconfig -a
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 mtu 1496 up
# route add default gw 192.168.1.1
# ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

Although modern tools (ip) would look more like:

# ip link show
# ip link set eth0 up mtu 1496
# ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0
# ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
# ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

YMMV

There are many tutorials. Try doing a web search for "[distro name] configure network."
