in /etc/modprobe.conf replace e100 or eepro100 with e1000, that's the modules I am running here without any problems.
apprich@elmstreet apprich $ cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep eth0 alias eth0 e1000
Also, what NIC do you have? Could you give us the output of lspci run by root?
Ok, two people suggesting, I tried it again. The system keeps loading two modules: e100 and (eepro100 or e1000).
The e1000 driver doesn't work at all with my card.
The output of lspci:
