Ethernet card not detected on installation

Hi all.
I'm trying to install Arch on a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. Unfortunately, the network card is not being detected. The wiki pages ( http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Latitude_E6x00 & http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Latitude_E6400 ) don't seem to mention anything unusual with the ethernet, but on my machine:
ifconfig -a only shows the lo interface,
hwdetect --show-net only shows NET : ppp_generic s1hc (which I'm guessing is the modem)
lspci | grep Ethernet shows 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10f5 (rev 03)
I tried adding the e1000 module to /etc/rc.conf during the installation, but that hasn't made a difference.

What should I look at next? Presumably I've done something daft since nothing unusual was mentioned in the wiki, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

Cheers

I think that the correct drive is the e1000e and not the e1000. What you get when doing

modprobe e1000e

(Look at dmesg output)

EDIT: I obtained all this information with a google search, I never seen a Intel 82567 card.

Actually, bumping is fine after a month with no response. 24 hours isn't even unreasonable in this case.

# modprobe e1000e
FATAL: Module e1000e not found.

That'd probably be why it disappeared from my rc.conf file as well.

I must have installed an older version of Arch by mistake - am grabbing the latest one now and will try adding the module.

@kazuo - sorry about asking daft questions on the forum. I must have missed the google result that paired "10f5 (rev 03)" with e1000e.

Sorry about the bump as well.
