Are you sure the card itself came up? As root run ifconfig and look to
see if it shows the card and it's interfaces are all up.
Now having had to edit /etc/modules.conf to add all those entries, I had
to add the alias and options for io as well.
Did you install some new hardware about the time that these changes when
through? I mean other then something like that, or some sort of
configuration change, nothing should have caused a change there at all.
But I guess if it's working now... then all is good huh?
