You probably need to change it to alias eth0 e100, or whatever the name of the loadable module is for your new driver. Also, if you have any option lines for your ethernet driver, you'll need to either comment them, or make sure they work with your new driver, and then reboot. Caveat: I haven't had to mess with this stuff for a while, as my last several installations I have done have been detected correctly on install, so I may be forgetting something and/or have forgotten something, but I'm pretty sure modules.conf is where you need to change your driver.
