but you don't have an ip address. this means your kernel see the device
and configured it, but dhcp isn't coming through. do you have lines
in /etc/network/interfaces that say something like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
?
also, if this is on a private lan, how about statically assigning
an ip address to your card[1]? this problem might be signs of a
completely different problem (like faulty cable or connecter or card),
or it might just be dhcp being flaky for some reason.
