did you try:

# netconfig (to setup your ip addr, netmask, gateway and dns)

afterwhich do:

# service network restart
# ifconfig -a (to check if the network card is up)

Dear Joseph
thank you for your assistance. but, the problem not setup issue. the hardware of network interface card can't be found on boot time.
i know must be install some package not driver. because i installed the new driver. but can't solve this problem. so may be install depend package or patch.
thank you again.

AFAIK the e1000 driver can be used in this situation.

Just add this line to the /etc/modules.conf file:

alias eth0 e1000

Then, issue the command "service network restart" and you should be fine.
