Well, no, but I've made a few changes though:

I used to run stock 2.2.17 kernel with ee100 support built in the kernel. 

eth0 is an integrated Intel Ether Express 100/V on the mother board. The
machine has three other NICs which are normal PCI Intel Ether Express 100
cards.

The machine behaved a little strange with the ethernet support built in the
kernel: it did not recognize my integrated eth0 card (dmesg showed info only
about eth1, eth2 and eth3). The strange thing was that I when I used
ifconfig I could my configure my first PCI card as eth0 and the builtin card
as eth3!

I switched to a modular kernel and while doing that I grabbed the netdriver
package which upgraded the 2.2.17 kernel's network modules. Now all my cards
are found properly, the builtin card being eth0 as it should.

But maybe I should downgrade back to the old modules?
