There are different possibilities. You may check the output of lspci,dmesg and lsmod.

lspci - Shows you your available devices in your computer. Mine shows:
[root@speedy ~]# lspci|grep net
00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 7c)

dmesg shows you kernel boot messages. If your network hardware is successfully detected there should be something like:
[root@speedy ~]# dmesg|grep -i eth0
eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0x1e800, 00:19:66:01:a0:06, IRQ 23.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 01e1 Link 45e1.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

lsmod shows you loaded kernel modules:
[root@speedy ~]# lsmod| grep -e mii -e rhine
via_rhine 23432 0
mii 5632 1 via_rhine


You probably need other kernel modules for your hardware. However, every recent distro compiles every
available module, and makes it available for you.

You may consider to compile a kernel.
