I've been having problems with the install process - I have SystemImager 3.6.3-1 and I am running a netboot on a particular machine; PXELinux loads, tftps everything over just fine, and starts running the install script, but it is unable to start the network properly - it does not seem to recognize the Ethernet card. The install process subsequently bails out when dhcp doesn't get any response.

From what I gather, it should be using a normal e1000 Ethernet driver, nothing spectacularly New and Amazing or anything, and that driver ought to be available in the standard configuration - is this the case?

From within the BOEL environment, /proc/pci outputs the following information about the device:
  Bus  6, device   8, function  0:
    Class 0200: PCI device 8086:1010 (rev 1).
      IRQ 185.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=255.
      Non-prefetchable 64 bit memory at 0xedfe0000 [0xedffffff].
      I/O at 0x2500 [0x253f].
  Bus  6, device   8, function  1:
    Class 0200: PCI device 8086:1010 (rev 1).
      IRQ 193.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=255.
      Non-prefetchable 64 bit memory at 0xedfc0000 [0xedfdffff].
      I/O at 0x2540 [0x257f].

When I run lspci on this machine from its normal, pre-existing Linux install (the one I want to overwrite with SIS), it shows as follows:
06:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)
06:08.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)
