[plug] fail to load e1000

One of our Debian servers will not load the e1000 driver for the nic.  There are 2 nics' on the server 1 Intel Pro/1000 GT and the other is a RTL8139 onboard card.  The onboard loads ok, the Intel does not.  I replaced it with another known working one and got the same results.
Looking the the message and syslog there is no mention of the Intel card nor in dmesg.

When I try to run modprobe it just states that it cannot find the driver even though the driver is there.  It also states insmod has a problem with the IO or IRQ.  Is there a way to issue a command to either set the irq or find out what the irq is? cat /proc/interrupts does not show the card.
What I  would like to know is how do I get this card working, considering it was working for the last several months.
Running lspci does not show the card

Thanks
