ark-internet-config currently obtains its list of interfaces from
/etc/modules.conf.  In situations where driver modules are not loaded from
modules.conf, (i.e. anything loaded by cardmgr) internet-config had no way of
identifying the device.

Possible solution is to check all loaded modules and find all ethernet drivers,
weed out the ones already installed from modules.conf, and add instances for all
others.

(currently testing code to do this)

TODO -- Add checks to make sure our hardware table (/proc/pci) shows the same
#'s of ethernet interfaces.  Likely if there is a discrepancy, it will be due to
multiple nics using the same module.  Will need to figure a way to determine
which module is used multiple times in environments where there are more than
two NICs. (ethtool?)
