Thanks Jack. Some more investigation and man page study got it working
using ifconfig and route. So I think I must have made a mistake in
/etc/network/interfaces that doesn't matter if the network is already
up.

Still no light on the back of the network card (the other light blinks
when data being sent however). Maybe just the led is broken!
