You need to have correct device driver loaded (module) for your NIC. Use lspci command to find out more information about card.
Code:
lspci
See this url about lspci: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-...i-devices.html

Once device identified, you can load the driver (located in /lib/ directory). Use insmod or modprobe command to install the driver
Code:
modprobe driver-name
