Possibly. Can you boot from the LiveCD and do the ifconfig eth0 there
as well?

That should help narrow it down further.

Having the wrong base address can indeed be enough to hose things; just
not yet ready to pronounce that as the culprit...yet.

There *is* a way to specify the base address to use for a module if
that's necessary, I believe -- but first, I want to make sure that this
is indeed the culprit before going that far.
