ifconfig is your friend for working with network. ifconfig shows stats on RUNNING interfades. ifconfig -a shows the status of all network connections (whether they are running, etc.). ifconfig iface shows the stats on that interface. Use -a first because ifconfig only shows running interfaces. I ran into that when my eth0 did not start. ifconfig made me think it wasn't there but ifconfig -a showed it was stopped.
