Run /sbin/ifconfig and post what you get. That will show if networking
is even started at all. Also run netstat -rn  to find the routing
gateway. Then do /sbin/lsmod  and try to locate the running module for
your NIC driver. shutdown networking, and unload your NIC driver
with /sbin/rmmod <module> then reload it with /sbin/insmod <module> and
run dmesg and look at the last several lines to see if the module loaded
OK.
