Seems the card is NOT activated, or at least the interface is down. If
you give it a fixed IP with
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.200 up
and then try declaring that your default gateway with
# route add default gw 192.168.0.200
and pinging it, what happens?

If nothing happens, that probably means that the card driver (=module)
is not loaded. What do lsmod and lspci -vv have to say for your card?

This should be all you need to set up an interface manually:
