[Assist] Module e1000 not found (can't load Ethernet card kernel module)

[brskinzdenuncia at tuta.io]

I successfully installed Parabola for the first time in my virtual machine. The only issue is that I don't have internet access. I read through the Network configuration entry <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration/Ethernet#Device_driver> in the Arch Wiki, and found out that my Ethernet card wasn't being recognized. After booting into my newly installed Parabola system, I ran lspci -v and noted that my Ethernet kernel module is e1000 (it's an Intel card, apparently it's this one <https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCIe-Intel-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Connections-Under-Linux-?wapkw=e1000>), then I ran dmesg | grep e1000, and as expected nothing showed up, so I assumed it wasn't loaded. Then, as this Arch Wiki entry <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_module#Manual_module_handling> suggested, I ran modprobe e1000, but it gave me the following errors:

modprobe: FATAL: Module e1000 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.12-gnu-1

At first I thought of downloading the module directly from Intel's website, but it requires that I make install it, and when I tried it I got a lot of different errors. But then I realized that perhaps compiling it wasn't necessary, the rationale being that within the Parabola live installation ISO I had stable Ethernet connection, so I tried the dmesg | grep e1000 command while within the live Parabola and it returned the following:

[        4.031943] e1000: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.3.21-k8-NAPI[        4.031943] e1000: Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation.
[        4.415594] e1000 0000:00:03.0 eth0: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 08:00:27:d4:6d:4d
[        4.415598] e1000 0000:00:03.0 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
[        7.046096] e1000 0000:00:03.0 enp0s3: renamed from eth0
[       10.162081] e1000: enp0s3 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX
I know that drivers in general are a pain in the ***, since these drivers are (I think?) proprietary. But noticing that the live ISO had internet access gave me hope.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I hope I gave sufficient information for debugging. Thanks in advance!
