After booting, login as root and try using netcfg and there configure the ethernet card.
netcfg &

This is a graphical tool which will drive you to set the ethernet card and bind ip address[if you want] or set DHCP.. Also you can set DHCP.

See what driver is aliased to eth0 in /etc/modules.conf.
Check out the linux driver datbase for your cards chipset to see which driver needs to be loaded.
Change the alias if necessary.
depmod -av
modprobe drivermod name
ifconfig eth0 up
