e1000 detected but not functional

[snagar]

Hello all

At last I succeded installing the e1000 drivers.
I must say, to all those that had a problem with it, I found out that I had two e1000.o files. One from the Kernel compilation and one from the emerge process. so all I had to do is remove the first(kernel compilation) and replace it with the one I emerged and walla: modprobe e1000 worked.

My gentoo ver is 1.4 r-4/r-5 after updating.

machine:
I have an Albatron 865PE II
2 NIC one is: Realtek = eth0
second: intel pro 1000 = eth1

So what is the problem ?
when I enter: ifconfig it only recognises eth0
when I enter: ifconfig -a => it detected all (eth0 & eth1)
When I explisitly type: ifconfig eth1 => detects the device.

So, when I ping it does not recognises the device.
I typed <route> and again only eth0 is recognised.

What is the problem, What am I missing ?
Should I load the module in the init.d ? I entered the module name in the: /etc/module.autoload file.

Need help/explanation

Thanks

Thanks alot tagswitch

I forgot to exec the module-update script.
The alias part doesn't realy matter for me.

Thanks alot
