Estou usando o SUSE Linux 11, na distribuição do Zenworks, e posso ver. A versão do kernel é: 3.0.13-0.27-default.
Eu posso ver que quando a distro é carregada, o driver e1000 é carregado e não e1000e, embora e1000e também esteja presente. Eu tenho algumas perguntas:
1) Por que o driver e1000e não é carregado automaticamente como o e1000? O driver carrega, com base na compatibilidade com uma versão específica do kernel? Se sim, como determinar a compatibilidade (qualquer comando)?
2) Qual é a diferença básica entre e1000 e e1000e?
3) Quando o e1000 é necessário para usar e e1000e?

Eles suportam diferentes dispositivos baseados no mesmo chip. Todos esses IDs PCI na sua saída modinfo são usados para selecionar o caminho certo. De acordo com a ajuda de configuração do kernel, e1000e é para placas PCI-Express, então eu acho que o motivo de não ter sido carregado automaticamente é que você não tem um desses.
