Copying BackTrack virtual box images around and the network wouldn't start. I'm Recording the commands here as its not something I do everyday and I will have the same issue again .. Same process would work for Ubuntu.
root@bt:~# ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
root@bt:~# lspci
Will list all the hardware devices. Confirm the Ethernet controller is loaded.
root@bt:~# ifconfig -a
Will list all the interfaces known to the system regardless if they are 'UP'. In my case the card was ETH4.
root@bt:~# ifconfig eth4 up
Worked.
I wanted to clean this up as ETH0-3 are all a result of switching machines and MAC address.
nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
remove the redundant config and switch your NIC to ETH0
