I have tried to compile the modules with 2.4.21, and a
patched distribution that, as with many distributions,
is recommended by the distro.  I get unresolved
symbols under all circumstances.  I assume when you
ask if I have recompiled my kernel, you mean to ask if
the kernel in the current source tree matches the
running kernel, in which case, the answer is yes.   At
first, I had not used the makefile, compiling the
modules by hand, but now I have used the tarball that
comes with the makefile, and it seems to make no
difference.  The kernel I attempted to compile against
last time had patches for the xfs file system, the
grsecurity patch, international cryptography, and a
few minor patches made by the distribution team. 
However, a fresh, pure kernel source tree still gives:

cb_shim.o: unresolved symbol unregister_hotswap_hook
cb_shim.o: unresolved symbol register_hotswap_hook
cb_shim.o: unresolved symbol unregister_driver
cb_shim.o: unresolved symbol register_driver
pci-skeleton.o: init_module: No such device

I believe I need only pci-scan.o, cb_shim.o and
rtl8139.o for the D-link DFE690TXD.  Is this correct? 
I don't know much about the kernel code, writing
drivers, etc., and so I don't really know where to
begin here,  but I am willing to do some work, look
throught he code, etc.  if it will help.  Thank you
for your time.
