You can always compile a kernel with the ethernet driver
configured into it. Look for "EtherExpressPro/100 support"
under " Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) ---> "
under "Network device support ---> " in make menuconfig/xconfig.
And choose "Y" instead of "M".
Even if you have it as a module the init.d scripts
should load the module automatically upon boot.
