Ok, maybe I can try that. In any case I noticed another strange thing.
I have 2 nics in that machine.
One is a nvidia MPC61 using the forcedeth.c the other one is a Realtec
RTL8029 using the
ne2k_pci.
Now, whenever I compile them both as modules each reboot the cards get
inversed eth assignement. Suppose first boot, the forcedeth is eth0 ,
the next boot it is eth1 , this is very anoying as one cant make only
one boot, probably this is someway related to the bios.
Now I configured them one in the kernel and the other as a module so
they get each time assigned the same name. But when powerloss happens
(unplug the cable) the next boot they do not work. I see them assigned
the correct name, ifconfig shows the IP's but ping results in a
destination unreachable.

Any ideas ?
