Okay. Can you post the last 20-30 lines of the 'dmesg' output? Either to pastebin.com or directly to the list. I want to see if the module complained about anything when you loaded it.

That didn't look like the last 20-30 lines, but like some of the first - there was no mention of the module being loaded.
Nevertheless, those were the last lines in the output, as you can see from noting the command prompt at the end. The first lines look entirely different. And I can verify that the string "r8" occurs only once in the file, in an entirely different connection. Neither does "eth0". But again, the NIC worked, and I was able to visit the LAN and the 'Net, until I rebooted.
Also, what does "ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg*" say? I'm slowly beginning to suspect the card may not have been configured at all.
***** # ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 219 2009-10-12 15:08 /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174 2008-12-03
Okay.
How is it possible that it was never configured?
I don't know, but "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth".
Elementary, my dear Watson. And from that I deduce that you have been in Meringen.
Anyway, we've checked the following:
1) that the NIC exists and works. 2) that the module exists and can be loaded. (I think) 3) that you have a udev rule for giving it a device name 4) that you have a network config (ifcfg-eth0) for it.
And yet when you run "ifup eth0" is says "Interface eth0 is not available".
