Pddm, I followed the thread you pointed me at and tried all of the modprobes. Unfortunately, this is what I get:
[root@zeta-003 grub]# /sbin/modprobe e100
/lib/modules/2.4.20-6smp/kernel/drivers/net/e100/e100.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

I went out and got some cheap US Robotics ethernet cards, for 7.99 apiece from Fry's because I was stuck for time and these worked like a charm. Practically plug and play. Still I would have liked to have the native solution going! I'm sure there's a fix somewhere.
If there is a simple fix, I have the same question an earlier poster asked. Why aren't these posted on the Intel support website?
Thanks.
