wired network connection has stopped working

[tom arnall <kloro2006@gmail.com>]

Greetings!

About a year ago my wired modem connection stopped working. I can find
nothing on google which helps.

In dmesg there is:

eth0: link is not ready

Here is ifconfig output, in case it is useful for people trying to
help me with the problem:

I'm running wheezy.
