Ethernet not found

I recently installed Slackware 12.0 and during installation I did not configure any network settings as I didn't know them, after I booted linux, there was no eth0 found,my ethernet is an Intel PRO/100 VE, i figured the best module to load was eepro100,and I added it to the modules loaded during boot, there were no errors loading it,but after running ifconfig -a and netconfig there is no eth0 found in the /dev/ folder. what should I do to fix this?
