    What is detecting your LAN card?

    Try

             /sbin/modprobe forcedeth

    as root. Than you shall be able to do
            
            /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up

    You may need to substitute eth1 for eth1 if you have more than one
    network adapter. You may also need to pass more options to ifconfig if
    you are not using DHCP. Read man infconfig for more info.

    If you your network works now, add

            alias eth0 forcedeth

    to your /etc/modprobe.conf and the module will be loaded on each boot.

    Greets,
