This procedure worked with a PCI network board (3c59x). The
interface came up and acquired a DHCP lease after re-booting into 2.6.
With an ISA-PNP board (3c509) the interface didn't come up after
re-booting into 2.4. There was a string of error messages when it tried.
Apparently something wasn't configured right. Material for a separate bug
report. But
modprobe 3c509 xcvr=3
ifup eth0
worked.
Installed 2.6 and rebooted. The ISA-PNP board came up correctly.
OK, we have another problem here. The floppy disk installer
requires that a 2.4 kernel be installed, but it configures an ISA-PNP
Ethernet board so it will only work under a 2.6 kernel. (Why am I not
surprised?)
