[plug] 2.4 kernel wierdness?

I have just put woody on my development box, and built a 2.4.17 
kernel.  I've built modules _and_ installed them.

My network card is a RTL8139-based card, which worked fine with both the 
rtl8139 and 8139too drivers on 2.2.20.  In 2.4 i'm using 8139too.

When the system starts up, I get a message about eth0 device does not 
exist, but after boot i can do modprobe 8139too, and the card will 
initialise and set up and show up in ifconfig.  I then have to do 
everything by hand to get it to appear.

What have i missed?

Cheers,

John Breen
