I did lsmod when I was booted to the CD and got e100 which I interpreted to
be the driver for Intel [Ethernet Pro 100]. I did lsmod when I was booted to
the HD and got e1000. I think this is the problem but what should I do now?
I tried using modprobe but I'm not sure what I'm doing. I think we have the
files for e100 on the HD.
