Support for your NIC was first introduced in 2.6.32 kernel, so your
kernel does not have native support for the NIC.  You can move to
2.6.32 or newer kernel OR simply download the ixgbe driver from
http://e1000.sf.net.  I would suggest downloading the latest version
which is 2.0.44.14 which has support for you NIC.

Support was first introduced in version 2.0.38.2 (which is also on the
sourceforge site), but I would suggest using the latest version.
