kinda hard to tell, since you didn't include the dmesg.  Or the ifconfig
output.  Or the ping command you were using.

However, you are misinterpreting messages.  "host is down" means
whatever you were trying to ping couldn't be reached, and nothing was
returned indicating bad routing.

Usually, that means a simple network configuration issue.  Fix it, it
will probably take off and run.
