lsmod should show that no driver is loaded for your NIC, load one and restart 
networking. Next find out why the module for your NIC isn't getting 
autoloaded during boot. Is udev correctly autoloading sbus modules? Is the 
module blacklisted because some other script or program was loading it 
explicitly? Not an exhaustive list to follow, just the basics.
