Interesting ethernet issue

Perhaps I should've quoted what I'm talking about...

Try lsmod before and after you modprobe mace. Compare the output-- perhaps
loading mace loads some other modules essential to your PCI network card.

Just a guess though... doesn't look like anyone else responded, so I
wanted to throw some ideas out.
