I see the list has been really overworked... It's a long time and I hope you've found the reason yet. If not, here are some hints: - is eth0 shown in /proc e.g. in /proc/interrupts? - is ifconfig -a returning something? - can you try ip (from iproute package) e.g. ip link set eth0 up - do you have the same net options enabled as in this distro: e.g. CONFIG_PACKET? - maybe you can try to figure something after (as root): strace ifconfig eth0 up or send the output here...
