Thanks again. I was using the e1000 both compiled-in and as a module with previous posts. I just tried the e1000e out of desperation, but I haven't tried it as a module. I don't feel that it's the kernel driver but rather the correct ethernet inter-face is not being created. I'm reading about writing udev rules at the moment. The kenel configuration I had was working.
