I also noticed that my modprobe.conf file was missing things after upgrading, which might have been the original problem.
Such as? What should modprobe.conf look like? Mine just contains one line:
# Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf! alias char-major-89-* i2c-dev
However, there is a modprobe.conf.dist file which has 165 lines. Should I copy this to modprobe.conf?

No, please don't copy the modprobe.conf.dist file content over to the modprobe.conf. That file should only contain module instructions for the hardware you really have.
What certainly is missing is the alias entry for your ethernet card. Or don't you have one in that host? If you have audio there should be entries for that too.
