rolled up a new kernel and added tulip family support in the .config and it compiled fine. When I boot, it gets to the end and says "unable to load module tulip, not found" I might need to change a line somewhere else, but it is working on 2.4.25 great.
If it matters
Arch 0.6
Netgear FA310fx/tulip driver
I think it was built in the kernel. I selected "*" on the tulip line, not "M". I did the make module and make module_install. (already fixed that mistake )
If your network connection works with the driver built-in you can safely ignore the error message, or go on a hunt for where the modules to be loaded at boot are specified. The documentation for your distribution should provide this information.
For reference, both Debian and Gentoo have a simple text file with a list of modules to load; in Debian it is called /etc/modules and in Gentoo it is /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-<version>.
