Since the NIC modules is being loaded at boot, try this:
in the file "/etc/network/interfaces" put in:
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
Now, I supposed that your default gateway was what I wrote, but change
it as needed. This config will auto config your NIC and loopback
everytime.
If your eth0 is DHCP try this for eth0 instead:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Good luck.
