solution to install networking in Dell Dimension 4600

This is in followup to previous posts on this subject:

  The integrated network card in my new Dell Dimension 4600 has the product 
name
 Intel® PRO/100 VE CNR (TP)
Intel Part No. is:   CNLA6000 CNR Slot (not PCI)
     The correct driver for RH8.0  that can be found at Intel's site is:
      e100-2.3.18.tar.gz
To install:
  1.   copy driver to /usr/local/src/e100

  2.   tar xfz e100-2.3.18.tar.gz

  3. Change to the driver src directory

     cd e100-2.3.18/src/

  4. Compile the driver module:
     make install
  (in order to compile you must have the workstation version of RH8.0)
   The binary will be installed as:
   /lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/net

  5. Install the module:
     insmod e100
  6. Add to /etc/modules.conf the line:
    alias eth0 e100

Then reboot, and the network module is found and installed during the boot 
sequence.
