ifconfig eth0 YOURIPHERE broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

this worked and after this I tryed the route and that too worked.

Still i am not able to ping.
ifconfig eth0 dispalys the right ip brodcast and netmask for the eth0
device.

if I try to ping I get an warning

no SO_TIMESTAMP support, failin back to SIOCGSTMP
and after that it tell's me Destination host unreachable.

Ah, well, the interface isn't getting configured at all then.  Just for
fun, configure the nic statically (in case it's bad, this will tell us):

ifconfig eth0 YOURIPHERE broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

Then try that route command again.  If you still can't get anything, I
would guess that the nic is bad.  Are you getting any errors from dhcpcd
yet? (they'd be in the output of dmesg, syslog, or messages.)
