The conflict with that specific version of module-init-tools is due to a 
bug that causes kmod packages to fail to *update* correctly.

As presumably you have no internet and have to manually download the 
alt1e driver here:

http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/

and you are installing the package for the first time and not updating 
it, you can simply force install the driver with no dependency checking, 
for example:

rpm -ivh --nodeps kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.9-2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

You can conveniently also download a fixed version of module-init-tools 
from here:

http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/i386/RPMS/module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.60.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm

or alternatively, as soon as you have network capability, just run 'yum 
update'.

Hope that helps.
