In order for you to be able to ifconfig the connection up, you must have the proper ethernet modules loaded, or at least configured in /etc/modprobe.conf. That's good. That's 50% of the battle.

gone again. And none of the methods suggested worked.And all my other
settings are fine the network scripts file is also ok.
Please suggest a way out.
