The driver was loaded as a module called de2104x.o
AFAIK that is not a module unless you're running kernel 2.4 2.6 mods have the .ko extension. 2.6 builtins are *.o so, if youre running 2.6, see if you have the *.ko file and run # modprobe MODULE_ALIAS where MODULE_ALIAS is the alias name (in your case "de2104")
If you're missing the *.ko file in: /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net # ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net | grep de2104 then you may as well just build yourself a fresh 2.6.9 kernel with the appropriate modules...
Your system should have a recent version of module-init-tools # modprobe --version module-init-tools version 3.0-pre10
and you need to supply an alias declaration in your modprobe configuration file (/etc/modprobe.conf or etc/modprobe.conf.local)
to load drivers for your system automatically, I'd do something like this:
#echo >> /etc/modprobe.conf #echo "include /etc/modprobe.conf.local" >> /etc/modprobe.conf #echo "alias eth0 de2104" >> /etc/modprobe.conf.local
be sure you don't trash your config files (use ">>" not ">" in above....)
This way you can easily control the drivers for your system in the "local" file....
