...and this shows its being modprobed.

What does 

ifconfig -a 

show?  Is there an eth0?

If there is you can just add in a stanza to /etc/network/interfaces -
something like

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

if its a static ip or

iface eth0 inet dhcp

if your network has a dhcp.  Then do 

ifconfig eth0 up

and see what happens.

HTH
