If you do "ifconfig -a" and it doesn't show any eth* interface, then it is a
kernel/driver/HW problem, not a udev problem - ifconfig gets the information
straight from the /proc (or is it /sys?) filesystem - direct from the
kernel, so udev is not involved - udev can only change the name of the
interface, not cause it to not show up.

Can you do a fresh boot, try modprobing e1000, and then send the output of
dmesg and uname -a?
