modprobe e1000
lsmod - lists the loaded modules
dmesg - useful system information messages (such as devices being found)
ifconfig - see if the interface has come awake after the module is 
loaded (usually with the -a flag).

after that, you need to configure it and bring it up
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<ifname> <- holds the config for 
the device (e.g. ip address, netmask, gateway, etc...)

ifup <ifname>
