I would first look at ifconfig, make sure their is a selected media type,
their is an IP, netmask.
Then make sure you have a default route(netstat -rn).

If all of that looks good, swap the ethernet cable. If still no change
look at /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and make sure that their is at least 2
spair IRQ's allocated, My 3Com 10MB/COAX NIC likes IRQ 7 and 9, my wi-fi
adapter likes 11 (just an FYI, I currently have Linux on my laptop so the
config.opts file could be in a different location).

Next maybe try and see if it is the port on your hub/switch it is plugged
into.

let us know how it works out. =)
