Well, if your ethernet device exists (you can check it with ifconfig -a) then
the problem is only that there is no IP assigned to the interface (and no
default route). If you're okay eth0 will show up in ifconfig -a.
If the problem is in the kernel not able to recognize or successfully set up
the driver for the device then I have no idea what to do except try the
newest kernel.
Otherwise, try something like this as root, this shows 192.168.0.123 as your
IP and 192.168.0.1 as your default gateway, for example.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default eth0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
If that gets you working, my advice ends at sticking that stuff
in /etc/rc.local so it happens every boot, but more experienced people may
have better suggestions to make it work with the system tools.
