You should find a line like this in the boot message, where the chip is probed.

<DM9KS> I/O: 80900090, VID: 90000a46

You can use "cat /proc/kmsg" to display the kernel message.

If the chip is not probed, you should check your logic.

If the chip is detected, try

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:07:ed:0a:03:29

You can see a sample DE2 boot message in the wiki page.
