I have
0a:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Intel(R) PRO/100 VE
Network Connection (rev 02)
Its module is getting loaded
lvgvaio:~# lsmod|grep e100
e100 32232 0
mii 5344 1 e100
my /etc/network/interfaces is
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
When I don't want my eth0 to come up at bootup, I do the same as you
you show above. When I want it to associate on bootup I do
#allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
