In short:

Cyrix Multimedia box
Everything onboard, including ethernet.
Works as supposed to under 2.2.x (including 2.2.19pre7)
installing 2.4.0 kernel recognises the driver but
no byte is passed over the ethernet.

Kernel:
Linux version 2.4.0-ac7 (root@multimedia) (gcc version 2.95.3 20001229 (prerelea
se)) #2 Fri Jan 12 11:17:47 CET 2001 

Distribution: 
Debian unstable (sid)
