I have the exact same problem and I have tried ever thing I can think of.
If you ever find an answer let me know. I am beginning to think that 2.4.xx is
unable to understand all of the mother board devices I have on this board.
You never said what mother board and bios you have.
I have a SOYO KT400 Ultra with a Phoenix BIOS.


Good Luck

eth0 doesn't have an address, just as I thought. And hasn't passed a
single packet so far.

Let's try giving it an address: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200

But even if not, you can then always

ping 192.168.1.200



I first ran these tests under my 2.2 kernel (where the network card is working), and then ran them under the 2.4 kernel, where it isn't working. Here is what I got:
