I think you're on the wrong track here. If you look at Gerard
MacNeil's posting which seemed to follow the Ethernet-HOWTO
(which should be in your /usr/doc) you may have more success.
You only need one module which is aliased to eth0, eth1 etc.
The HOWTO example fortuitously happens to be for NE2000 cards.
