| According to Intel's site that device is *only* for iSCSI.  In other

It is fine that it only supports iSCSI. We have an EquaLogic SAN to
connect to.  Currently we have Windows servers that are connecting using
the same adapter.  We are now looking into having Linux servers as clients.

I ran the command you requested.  The following is the output, as well
as lsmod output.

[root at pooh ~]# modprobe e1000


[root at pooh ~]# lsmod
