basically, it means the driver for your network card is not being loaded
properly.

run 'lsmod' and check the output for the driver

If it is not loaded, you can load it with

modprobe <driver-name>

If you don't know what kind of network card you are using, type 'lspci -v'
and look for a line with the word 'ethernet' or 'network' in it.

sometimes, dyne:bolic will load the wrong driver. In my case, it loads
'tulip' when it should load 'dmfe'. So you may have to remove the old driver
first before loading the right one. To remove a driver, type

rmmod <driver-name>

hope this helps,
