If it is helpful to anyone, I have a working (moderately tested) patch
of the latest version of the e1000 driver against the latest Fedora
2.4.22 kernel. It works for me, though I still have a weird, and
probably completely unrelated, depmod issue in my kernels built with the
patch (my kernels are pretty heavily patched, so I'm pretty confident it
is unrelated).
And if I ever get a new installer image with the driver to work, I'll
make it available...
