disable network module at boot time

[Brian Austin]

That means your network subsystem drivers are loading.  Not the physical
Ethernet Device.

For a device you should see something like this.

ep93xx-eth version 0.1 loading
eth0: ep93xx on-chip ethernet, IRQ 39, 00:0e:3a:11:22:33.


what you are seeing is networking support, not device support.

Like 
Packet Socket
IP: tunneling

and what not.
