    If I am not mistaking the module for your card (Intel Pro 1000) is called "e1000".

    So
    Code:
    modprobe e1000
    will load it.

    i should have used different phrasing,the module loads during boot because of the way i installed but it still does not detect my ethernet card because when i try to configure a dsl connection it says no ethernet devices found....however i do not have it connected to my router yet so that may be why,im going to bring my router to my room and connect it as soon as i know that it will work properly.could the reason be that it is not connected?is there any way taht i can find out of it is working without connecting it? is there a .conf file that i can check or something.thanks for the help

    Have you checked
    Code:
    ifconfig
    what does it tell you about your network devices?

    If you are sure there is a problem, this would be the solution.

    Modify the file /etc/modprobe.d/aliases so this line appear:
    Code:
    alias eth0 e1000
    It will associate the module "e1000" with your network device "eth0".

    Then run
    Code:
    update-modules
    as root, and reboot.

    ok i did what you suggested.still did not work,the router i use(westell versalink model 327w)acts as a DHCP server and it should,if ethernet is detected,setup on boot if i am correct.however it does not detect my ethernet device because if i use the adsl/pppoe config tool on debian it says no ethernet cards detected.
    also the results of ifconfig,before and after the changes are as follows:



    LinkEncap=Local Loopback
    inet adress:127.0.0.1 subnet mask 255.0.0.0
    inet 6 adress: ::1/128 scope=host
    uploopback running MTU:16436 metric=1
    thank you for the patience after this all i need to do is fix my sound card,hopefully i can figure on ym own havent tried yet,and ill be setup and able to delete my windows partition,move on to bigger better things
