Umm never seen a /dev/ethx device ever so I think you assumption is
wrong  there ;) have you tried ifconfig -a ? If that says the device is
not found it means /proc/sys/net does not contain a device (ethx , usbx
, rausbx etc)

If it comes up with a valid interface then configure it by hand and see
if it works.

ifconfig ethx <ip-address>

Don't forget to set up a route to your gateway either ,

route add default gw <gw-ip-add>


Let us know how you get on.
