A Linux engineer has just installed a new network card. The device is detected by the kernel, but the appropriate driver module is not loaded automatically. The engineer wants to load the module and verify that it is associated with the correct hardware. Which set of commands should be used?

`modprobe e1000e` and then `lsmod | grep e1000e`

`modprobe e1000e` and then `dmesg | grep e1000e`

`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e.ko` and then `lspci -k`

`rmmod e1000e` and then `modprobe e1000e`
