log in to e-smith and cat /etc/conf.modules and see what the eth aliases 
are. If the entry says old_tulip try changing that to tulip if this is
the case, at least reply saying what the entries are so we have some more 
info to diagnose the problem

do /sbin/lsmod and see if the tulip module is present, I doubt it will be,
and then try /sbin/modprobe tulip, then an /sbin/lsmod and see if its
loaded the module, if it has, try /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start and see
if this will bring up your network
