There's a patch to put the e100 driver in 2.4 at
http://gtf.org/lunz/linux/net/. There is currently no NAPI support for
that driver.

You should be able to pull the code from Intel and compile it for your 2.4
kernel. I have done that, and it was so free of tricks all I remember is
the compile and 'make install.' I have not tried the 2.5 code, I got the
Intel source.
