Is the card configed for static or dhcp?  I can bring up a static set
card with no cable.  I would double check your network settings and if
you have multiple nics on the machine I have known the nics to "swap"
their eth* assignment.  i.e the second nic (eth1) with no cable would be
assigned to the active eth0 configure.  To fix that last one, just turn
off the second nic in bios if you don't need it.
