The 2.4.18 bf24 kernel has the eepro100 driver build in. The modular kernels need eepro100 in /etc/modules. Or modprobe it manually and restart networking to avoid needing to reboot. The 2.4.20 kernels have the Intel driver called e100 in addition to the eepro100 driver. If possible I recommend the e100 driver since it fixes some bugs in the eepro100 driver. Intel opened up the source and now the Intel e100 driver is part of the main kernel tree. But it is not available in the 2.4.18 kernel.
