Either install the kernel-headers for your kernel
(kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4), or change EXTRAVERSION is
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 to -bf2.4, copy /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4
to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/.config, run make oldconfig and make
dep. Recompile the driver.

Add
alias eth0 drivername
to /etc/modutils/aliases and run update-modules. Do not edit
/etc/modules.conf directly.
