OK, fine -- how do I find out?
Have you tried my previous suggestion? Grep for eth in /var/log/messages (instead of dmesg):
grep eth /var/log/messages
What's the result?
As for modules, if any, you can type 'lsmod' at the command line to see what's (currently) loaded. I'd also look at the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf to see if it's doing anything with eth0 at all (assuming it sees it): cat /etc/modprobe.conf
