"ifconfig -a" will show you all available network interfaces, even ones
that are down/unconfigured.
"lspci" can be useful. Note that all PCI devices will show up in that
list, whether or not the kernel has a driver for them.

What if you just do:
ifconfig eth0
That should show you details about the device. You can configure an
address with something like:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
