I have two identical Pentium III ~800MHz boxes which each have one onboard 10/100 NIC and one Intel 82544EI Gigabit (Optical) card. I am planning to use the optical cards to rsync the two Apache localhost directories together; one box will serve web publicly, one will be a private dev environment.

My problem is that it works perfectly when both boxes are booted on the LiveCD, but not on the native installation. At first, the cards would not even show up...until I added the e1000 module to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Then the cards show up, and I can set an IP address and other information, but the cards will not communicate. Is there anything else I need to load, or another driver I should be using? After some inspection by running "lspci -vv", I found that each install is apparently finding a different card, even though they are identical:

From the LiveCD:

Anyone? Are there any hardware auto-loaders I could run (much like the LiveCD runs)?
