Ok, your dmesg ring buffer has overwritten what was discovered at boot.

try:

# (unless you're in group admin, then its $)
# cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i eth

Notice that I left out the "^", so that any lines mentioning ethernet
will show up, i.e. the name of the drivers (in case they're trying but
don't end up creating an eth*).
