That really depends on your distro's network scripts and their configs.

But "ifconfig -a" should reveal all network interfaces, whether configured 
by your boot scripts or not. If your network interface card doesn't show 
up please send the dmesg output.

BTW, you needn't unpack modules for device drivers as they are all 
built-in. But you'll need the modules if you need things like ipv6 or ppp.
