It appears that the network card isn't loaded. Have you done lsmod as root

The network card is the tupid driver above so I know my network card (eth0)
is loaded during boot. You can also type dmesg as root, piped to more, and
see what happens during boot, just in case there's an error message
indicating some hardware problem. That's a useful command to find out why
PCI cards don't work. You get to see the interrupts and memory locations
they are using...

I'm following this eagerly because I have similar problems. But, when I run
ifup eth0 I get

Delaying eth0 initialization

and if I run ifconfig -a I show no eth0 listing at all. I assume this means
eth0 is not running but it also appears that it is refusing. Why would this be?
