Actually, that probably had something to do with the libraries that wre linked into the 2.2.20 kernel binary. And you said you had no luck with any custom kernel you built yourself? That's very interesting. It could also be the modules.dep that didn't match with the modules on the Cd. Did you perhaps try building the necessary module for your ethernet card, and then making a bootable floppy or set of floppies with the module and the kernel itself? May you code in the power of the source, may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you, throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
