Errrmm, that likely won't work with current 2.4-based distributions.
Build "*_cb.o" drivers was for Linux-2.2 based distributions, and even
there you should really be using 'cb_shim' which allowed the
standard Scyld driver in work in both from-boot and hot-swap modes.

Do

mkdir /tmp/netdrivers/
cd /tmp/netdrivers/
ncftpget ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdrivers.tgz
tar xfvz netdrivers.tgz
make
make install
