Try dmesg > filename to capture and view the bootup log. Another thing you
might check. If you have compiled the ethernet as a module, do /sbin/lsmod
to verify that the driver module has been loaded. You can /sbin/insmod the
driver manually to verify that this fixes the problem. If it is not loaded at bootup
you could perform the insmod in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. There is probably
a better way but this is all I know.
