"What happens when you try restarting the network stack?

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Also, since you are configured with a static IP, are you connected to a router that is trying to pass out DHCP adresses? If so, can you disable DHCP on your router, and have it simply act as a gateway?

That might be part of the reason why you are not getting any traffic out. As far as why you can't bring the card up, make sure the drivers are installed. modprobe the driver into kernel and try ifconfig eth0 static 192.168.0.X up. (x is a variable to represent different IP adresses).

Do not use network manager, it doesn't work and it isn't necessary. In fact, network manager more often than not fails to correctly configure the Linux subsystem which is directly responsible for managing your network stack."
