Damn, I missed a small detail I should have told you about: after each modprobe you should have checked 'ifconfig -a' (-a to show ALL cards, including those that are NOT active).

We'll need to see your /etc/network/interfaces /etc/resolv.conf (unless you have resolvconf installed) and explain your network setup.
