Another possibility is that the interface is over configured I would usually
use it as
eth0=ethertap,,,192.168.0.251
and on a 2.4 host I normally use the tuntap rather than ethertap
The reason is that the extra options are for expert use and could be
preventing the automatic configuration of the device because the software is
assuming that you know exactly what you are doing and so does not do
automatic configuration.
You might find it be useful to use the most current version of the kernel
patch and uml utilities
