Er, except to download the kernel via the network, his network card
needs to work. Doh!
Still, I concur with Jacob; a newer kernel might solve your problem. You
might use the Windows side (or Knoppix), to get the newer kernel.
Also, I believe you want to "modprobe e100" instead of "modprobe
e100.O"; I'm not sure it matters, but I sortta kindda in a way think it
does.
