initialization problem under 2.4.20

Hi.  I have upgraded my linux box to the 2.4.20 kernel.  When I boot 
the card/driver hangs.  When I do an lsmod it shows the 8139too driver 
as initializing.  It never comes out of that state.  

The card works fine under a straight RHat7.2 system.  There are 4 
options available when building the module for the kernel.  Do I need 
to choose any of them?  I've tried a few combinations based on 
the 'help' descriptions of the options, but the driver still hangs.  I 
also tried building the most recent driver software off the web page 
with the same result.  I also downloaded the version of the driver that 
is included in Rhat7.2 (.18 IIRC) and built it for 2.4.20 and that 
didn't work either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,
david
