If it shows up in ifconfig, then the driver has been successfully probed
and attached.  You'll need to provide a bit more information if we're to
figure out why you can't ping -- like, what host were you trying to ping,
and do you have routing to it; do you actually have a working link between
the card and whatever it's plugged into; what is the exact error message,
if any?

Cheers,
