try looking in /lib/modules/2.4.18-.../ for kernel module that would
manage your NIC.
modprobe the module (ie. i have rtl8139 card : $modprobe rtl8139 )
if ifconfig -a show's your NIC you will probably want to automatize the
process of loading the coresponding module by
echo nameofthemodule >> /etc/modules
