I only vaguely remember how this works, but IIRC there are HAL rules (perhaps in /etc/hal/fdi/policy ?) that remebers your old network cards from the previous motherboard. This gives your new card eth3, and you don't have an init-script for eth3. I assume you're not going to switch the MB back, so I suggest you dig around for the files, backup and remove them. This should re-number your eth3 as eth0, and allow the normal init-scripts to start your network. Again, this is _not_ my area of expertise, so if you're unsure, wait for someone else to reply.
