Thanks, I had already seen in dmesg and ifconfig that the ethernet
was configured. There is a difference that I had not thought
consequential:
with 2.2.20 I get
eth0: Accton EN1217/EN2242 (ADMtek Comet) rev 17 at 0xc6022000, 00:D0:59:24:04:C0, IRQ
11.
eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 786d advertising 01e1.
whereas with 2.4.18 I get
eth0: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at 0x1c00, 00:D0:59:24:04:C0, IRQ 11.
Either way ifconfig says I have eth0 configured bid I NOW NOTICE that
the base address reported by ifconfig is not the same. Perhaps the
driver for 2.4.18 got it wrong? How can I force 2.4.18 to use the
other driver?

First thing is:
$ dmesg|grep -n eth
For example, here's my output:
$ dmesg|grep -n eth
233:eth0: VIA VT86C100A Rhine at 0xa000, 00:80:c8:e9:a7:b8, IRQ 4.
234:eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1
Link 4de1.
275:eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #8 link partner capability
of 4de1.
Another good preliminary diagnostic tool is lspci and it's "-v"
option. In my case:
$ lspci | grep [eE]ther
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT86C100A
[Rhine] (rev 06)
$ lspci -v -s 00:0a.0
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT86C100A
[Rhine] (rev 06)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-530TX rev A
Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 4
I/O ports at a000 [size=128]
Memory at df000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K]
