Brian - here is my modprobe.conf file

/etc/modprobe.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
install snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsact1 store /dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias eth0 ne

As you ca see it refers to the ne module.  Where do i find that and how do 
i install it?
