according to http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?i=8086100f, your network
controller seems to be an « 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller ».

Then my friend google send me there: 

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?strState=LIVE&ProductID=983&DwnldID=2897

where it is said that:

« Base driver (5.2.30.1) for the Intel® PRO/1000 family of Desktop
and Server Adapters [are] known to build properly on Linux* kernels
on 2.4.x kernels through 2.4.20. »

So if you are using a 2.4.x kernel, you have to load « e1000.o » . If
you are using a 2.2.x, you can download the driver from the url above.
Don't know for 2.6.x.
