I can imagine 2 problems: You are not loading the kernel module for your NIC before trying to bring it up (you will see SIOC messages with 'no such device' if this is the case) /etc/network/interfaces does not have auto eth0 in it. But you assure me it is not the second case, so I suggest you add the module name to /etc/modules and see how it goes.
