No such thing as a FreeBSD distro with a Linux kernel that I know of. :-) If
it looks like FreeBSD but is really Linux then it's probably Slackware, but
that's just a guess. Try "ls /etc/|grep release". Does it find anything?
redhat-release or mandrake-release or anything? Also try "cat /etc/issue".
There might be something in there to help figure out what it is.

/sbin/ifconfig -a
This will list all NICs and their status. Look for the line that looks like
this for the NIC in question:
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
That "UP" is the key part. If it's not up, it's not running.
HTH.
