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.
