about the HTML, I didn't know my client did that. It should be fixed
now.

Fixed (the HTML) and downloaded the tar file.

I attempted to compile your 2.2-14 code but as I said, I have kernel source code for 2.4.31 not 2.2, and it refused to compile. Maybe Steven will compile it for 2.2.26. The readme.txt in your tar package explains how to compile directly with gcc. The instructions say to use it with 2.2-14 but I presume 2.2.26 will also accept it. If not maybe try insmod -f .

I found two sites with 8169 drivers for kernel 2.4 (one also for 2.6), and the third site said 8169 should work with 8139 drivers and these newer kernels. Other sites say the same.

Unless you really need to use a 2.2 kernel due to very low memory, I suggest you download one of my 2.4.31 kernels.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/bzimagla.431 is a small one for laptops, bzimlafb.431 includes framebuffer support (useful with neomagic video where Xvesa does not work - use Xfbdev), bzimavsp.431 a big one for desktops with newer IDE controllers, bzimlafb-cb.431 one with cardbus support for laptops but I have not yet tested it yet.

8139too.o is in a modules package there. You will also need crc32 and mii.

2.4 kernels support USB storage (flash drives, cameras).

As I wrote:
I can try to compile for kernel 2.4.31 (I don't have the kernel code for
2.2)
