Just fyi, debian *hates* conf.modules and prefers the more "standard"
modules.conf. If you use conf.modules, it will yell at you. :o) insmod's
man page markes conf.modules as "depreciated".

You might also check out /etc/network/interfaces to make sure your eth0
is loaded by ifup and ifdown... I had to modify this from it's original
value in order for my debian box here to deal with my nic (a 3c59x/3c90x
vortex card).
Might try `ifup eth0` to see if it knows anything about your card, then
check for the modules and all that to make sure they're loded correctly.
