Hi Mark, Well I'm glad we have the correct driver up on the web site. :) But actually if you want to test with the latest driver I would suggest you move to 3.1.17. It corrects bug that slipped into the last release having to do with 82598 NIC's so I believe it would affect you. However I don't think it is related to the issue you're currently seeing, but you might want to keep it in mind.
It makes sense actually that you didn't see a ethX device after we detect an "unsupported module" we free the netdev. Which is why you have to reload the driver to try again and you don't see a ethX device. You can however remove the cable and reload the driver. The netdev will be created and you can see it with a "ifconfig -a". What ever that ethX device is you should be able to do the "ethtool -i" on.
