ICH9 has nothing to do with the net controller. In order to be sure you are using the right drivers, paste the results of lspci -n to this site. That will give you the correct drivers for all devices. Install those drivers, and retry.

Blessed be!

i dont' have experience about ich9
but i tried once on another ibm desktop machine which has e1000 (new) thing on board
what i did was to install BOTH e1000 + e1000e drivers from sourceforge
i could not get the NIC work without installing both things......
