if there's no reference to your nic in the dmesg output, then the kernel
doesn't know of its existence, i.e. the necessary driver isn't getting
loaded. if you've got x up and running, you might want to try 'make xconfig'
from a terminal. i find it easier to stay on top of everything with a gui,
and easier to save and load custom configs. as far as your particular nic is
concerned, i'd be really surprised to learn that you've got something that
linus, et al, haven't taken into consideration.
apart from that, what does your /etc/network/interfaces look like?
