I would throw a live CD in like knoppix or SystemRescueCD to see if your adapter works from there. Is it a wireless ethernet adapter or just a regular wired one?
The SystemRescueCD 2.0 will automaticaly set your network up for you if the drivers are present. If you need special drivers you will need to do it yourself. Also you could have a hardware problem. Try reseating the network adapter card.
The lspci "unknown device 0190" leads me to believe the special drivers are not loaded for you adapter. Linux has gotten much better with hardware support over the years but sometimes you run into a compatablity problem or simply need to figure out what drivers are needed from the manufacture and install them manually.

LAPTOP_MODE(8) System Manager's Manual LAPTOP_MODE(8)
NAME
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode - apply laptop mode settings
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode [ cmd ] [ force ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the /usr/sbin/laptop_mode command. laptop_mode is a program that applies the settings given in the
/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf configuration file. The primary use is to control the laptop mode feature included in Linux kernels with
versions 2.6.6 and higher, and 2.4.23 and higher. This feature increases battery life by letting your hard drive spin down. This is
achieved by grouping disk write activity into "chunks" that are spaced at larger intervals than they normally would be. In addition to sup-
porting the Linux kernel's laptop mode feature, /usr/sbin/laptop_mode also supports various power saving modules which are configured
through configuration files in the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d directory.
It is not recommended to call /usr/sbin/laptop_mode directly to start or stop laptop mode, except in hardware event handlers. To apply new
configuration settings from laptop-mode.conf, call the laptop-mode service init script with the reload parameter.
COMMANDS
Specify force as the second parameter to force laptop_mode to re-apply a state even if the computer is already in that state. These are the
values that are allowed for cmd :
auto Enable or disable laptop mode based on the current power state. Note that this will not do anything if the laptop-mode service
has not been started!
status Display a status report about everything that laptop_mode affects.
SEE ALSO
laptop-mode.conf(8).
