If that is the problem, you should create an alias for your network
card module in '/etc/modeprobe.d/aliases' or a file with such alias
line into on /etc/modeprobe.d/ directory.
For example, being 'sungem' the NIC module, 'alias eth0 sungem'
can fix it.
(don't forget 'update-modules' to activate your changes)
