dmesg should tell you that the module found the card. If it did not, lspci
with a bit more care and make sure the bios/linux ACPI post enabled
interrupts, etc for the card...
ifconfig -a should list a new eth* interface which is the gigabit card. If
it doesn't, either your kernel/kernel config/bios is screwed, or something
in the hardware setup itself is.

Does that chipset support the proper PCI version required by the e1000 card?
Also, using the newest kernel (2.6.12.5) is always a good try when a driver
that has seen constant updates lately fails to do what you expect...
