Try the following:

* Check if forcedeth-Module is available in your config:
Code:

modprobe -l | grep forcedeth Should result in something like (other kernel number): /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko

* Check if forcedeth-Module is currently active:
Code:

lsmod | grep forcedeth if active, it should result in forcedeth 38372 0

* Unload forcedeth-Module if active
Code:

modprobe -r forcedeth

* Load forcedeth-Module without MSI and MSIX for testing:
Code:

modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0

* Restart Network:
Code:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

* If your ethernet is now working, you can update your module-configuration like described in the previous posts to process the forcedeth-options on system boot.
