Take a look at /etc/network/interface

You should have an entry like:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


ifup is a wrapper.  Try this:

ifconfig eth2 down
ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ping 192.168.0.1

If that works then your problem is not hardware, it's your 
configuration.  Again, this will be detailed in /etc/network/interfaces
