1) the result of #lspci K was:

02:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network connection

....................................................................................................................

kernel modules:e1000e

2)after that I did a test with: #modprobe e1000e that returned:

modprobe:ERROR: could not insert 'e1000e' unknown symbol in mocule, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I still have to run 'make menuconfig' as I was told to do but I do not understand this modprobe ERROR as it is not he first time I do #modprobe and this error message comes as result.

3)I must explain that I have changed the ethernet controller just to check it would be recognized but it wasn't either, like the other ethernet controller

You're just missing the module or built-in driver.

Easiest way to check is boot the livecd and do lspci -K. This will
list detected hardware on the PCI bus and if applicable the drivers.
Note the RTL8169 name, probably 'r8169'.

When you run 'make menuconfig' to setup your kernel search for the
string using the '/' key and just select it as built-in [y] or module
[m]. Recompile the kernel and you should be good to go.
