Yeah, insmod doesn't always print an error message when a module
isn't loaded. It will print one when it can't find the module one is
trying to load, though.

Yeah, if you get eth0 (or eth1, eth2 ...) depends on two things:
Loading the right module(s) for the network card(s) you have and on
what udev does.
Udev will eventually give you an eth1 or eth2 for a network card, like
when you had eth0 for network card A, then you physically removed this
card and installed network card B: You'll get eth1 even if you have
only one network card. I'm not sure if that's a bug, but it should be
eth0 if you have only one card.

Don't mess with that ...
You simply don't have an eth0 or eth1 ... before you have the right
module loaded for the card.
ifconfig -a will show you all network cards you have; if it doesn't
show any or says "no such device", then there isn't any network card
available.
Perhaps you need a different module for the card you have, or the card
is turned off in the BIOS, or it's broken?
Which network card do you have? lspci might tell you.
