Hmmm .... I'm not an expert on configuring network cards :(
Perhaps your ethernet card needs some parameters. Perhaps you can remember
how the module was configured, perhaps you find some information in the
files stored in /etc/modutils/.
When your ethernet driver needs some parameters, you have to fiedle around
with the append command in /etc/lilo.conf (see manpage) and add some
bootparameters (man bootparam, search for the section 'ETHERNET DEVICES').
A look in the Ethernet-HowTo might help, too.
I hope, that this helps ... at least somehow :)
