I did something to my network card...

I've got a Toshiba Satellite S173 with Arch running wonderfully.  I attempted to set up my Linksys 802.11G PCMCIA card, and in the process did something with my ethernet card.  When I go to Network Tools, the only option is loopback (lo).  So I ran:

hwdetect --show -net

And got

NET     : e100 eepro100 mii

Any ideas how I can get my eth0 (LAN) back? Neither wireless nor wired is currently working.

EDIT

UDEV doesn't appear to be loading the card, so I added e100 and eepro100 to MODULES in /etc/rc.conf.  Still doesn't work.

Ok, so I got LAN (eth0) back on hwdetect at least.  I also managed to get my wireless card in there too:

NET   : e100 eepro100 mii ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt ieee80211softmac bcm43xx

I went back through the Configure Network article in the Wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network) and restarted the network with the following errors:

/etc/rc.d/network restart
:: Stopping Network              [DONE]
:: Starting Network               [BUSY]
err, =R ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device

Re: I did something to my network card...

Try installing ifplugd; it will autoconfigure eth0 whenever you plug in a cable:

Or maybe you have to modprobe the correct module for your ethernet interface; my laptop's is a Realtek and i have to load 8139too in my MODULES section of /etc/rc.conf.
