Sorry, you're right, I used just 'ifconfig'. Using 'ifconfig -a' eth0
does appear in the list:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <mac-address-here>
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Rx packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
Tx packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:28 Base address:0x800
This information is the same on boot and after the modprobe commands.
