I confirm: driver for Intel® 82567 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (default embedded nic of the Optiplex 760) is not in base ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS kernel (2.6.24-23).

You have to :
 * apt-get install build-essential linux-libc-dev linux-headers-2.6.24-23-server
 * download the Intel driver source from Intel.com (see link above)
 * tar zxvf ... cd e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/ && sudo make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI install
 * then add 'e1000e' to your /etc/modules and reboot

It should be nice to have this driver integrated in the ubuntu kernel for 8.04.3 ? :)
