Which kernel is this you are running ?
Does the kernel report the card as an etherH ? From you message it is 
clear it recognised the card as an icubed card but did it recognise it as 
an etherH or did it report a product id ?
If it reports a product id then this means that icubed have changed 
something (They did this one when they went from EEPROM to FLASH memory 
on the card). In this case what is the id reported ?
If you are running your own built kernel, you have got an eh0 
device in your kernel config ?

Ok if the device was not configured then none of these steps will work as 
observed.
