You need to activate the card before you activate ethernet.

Yes, install the module (driver) for your particular 
ethernet card.  You say it is a hawking.

Is it a Hawking PCMCIA card?  If so, execute /etc/pcmcia/start.  
If that works (i.e. gives you eth0), then execute your ifconfig.

If it is a Hawking PCI card (not PCMCIA), then it probably uses 
the Tulip module (which is not included in the default BL3).  
You will find that module at the BL3 site in the net directory.  
Put it in your /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc directory.  Then do:
------------
insmod tulip
------------
If that gives you eth0, then execute your ifconfig.

Let us know how it goes.  Hopefully we will be able to get
it working for you.
