your card is being identified as a Intel E1000 Gigabit Ethernet. From
kernel configuration docs:
-----------------------
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet support
CONFIG_E1000
This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabit ethernet family of
adapters, which includes:
Controller Adapter Name Board IDs
---------- ------------ ---------
82542 PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter 700262-xxx,
717037-xxx
82543 PRO/1000 F Server Adapter 738640-xxx,
A38888-xxx
82543 PRO/1000 T Server Adapter A19845-xxx,
A33948-xxx
82544 PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter A51580-xxx
82544 PRO/1000 XF Server Adapter A50484-xxx
82544 PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter A62947-xxx
82540 PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter A78408-xxx
82541 PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter C91016-xxx
82545 PRO/1000 MT Server Adapter A92165-xxx
82546 PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter A92111-xxx
82545 PRO/1000 MF Server Adapter A91622-xxx
82545 PRO/1000 MF Server Adapter(LX) A91624-xxx
82546 PRO/1000 MF Dual Port Server Adapter A91620-xxx
For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the
Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
<http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
For general information and support, go to the Intel support
website at:
<http://support.intel.com>
More specific information on configuring the driver is in
<file:Documentation/networking/e1000.txt>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called e1000.o. If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well
as <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
-----------------------
Basic question: has the kernel identified your network card correctly?
If so, try 'modinfo e1000' and you should be able to see what are the
options for this specific module.
