This site has the source code for modules - via-rhine.c.  Did you compile 
your own module from this source code?

BL2 and BL3 can use modules from Slackware 7.1:
Look for /modules/2.2.16/net/via-rhine.o
at one of the Slackware mirrors listed at a BL site.

Or try the kernel in net.i with this card.  It should work with a lot of 
different ethernet cards.  You can look at the configuration for the 
kernel to check if it supports via-rhine.

Are you saying that the card worked in Debian?
