# man ifconfig

Your card is likely being recognized at the hardware/OS level but is not 
configured with an IP address. Modify the file 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to the values you want, and that 
will be the setting it takes upon reboot. Use the ifconfig command to set 
its values for right now (but not permanently).

Also check /etc/sysconfig/network for other, not directly-related stuff.
