Why are you running off of eth2? Built in ethernet is eth0. Do you have a special ethernet card?

It's not that eth2 is a module, it's a device. eth refers to your network driver. Like hdXY refers to partition Y on ide drive X, ethX refers to the X interface, built in is (AFAIK) generally eth0. I would go into linuxconf, and make sure that your basic ethernet settings are for eth0, NOT eth2...
