This network card is supported obviously since the kernel has detected the chip and loaded the "8139cp" driver for it.

This means that no cable is plugged in, or it is faulty, or the other end of the cable isn't plugged in to anything.
Don't know if this information is any help it wasn't connected at the time if anyone is able to suggest commands to see if he has the appropriate hardware.
You might need to provide more information about what you're trying to do, or what you expect to happen that isn't happening. John
