I see that someone suggested the NE2000. I used that in 2.0.36 and it worked
but there was a suggestion in kernel 2.2.1 to use the _new_ pci
driver. I did and it reports it like this:
ne2k-pci.c:v0.99L 2/7/98 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html
ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029' at I/O 0x6200, IRQ 9.
eth0: PCI NE2000 found at 0x6200, IRQ 9, 00:40:05:3D:34:51.
So for the 2.2.1 kernels its ne2k-pci and for the 2.0.36 its NE2000.
BTW, in the config the PCI choice is below the ne200 & called ne2k.
