Quite possibly the stock kernel you are using has the driver compiled
into the kernel and not as later-loadable module.
Look in /boot/config-<your-kernel-version> and look for text like
3COM or 3C9. On my kernel I have:
dione$ grep -i 3c /boot/config-2.*
....
/boot/config-2.4.16:CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_3COM=y
...
dione$
Note the 'y', meaning 'compiled into the kernel'. I suspect you
will have the same.
('m' would mean it is a module which then gets modprobe'd in by one
of the init.d scripts.)
