Yes, it's available in 2.4.20 as an option, but that doesn't help in order
to do a net install. What I ended up doing was burning a set of install
CDs, doing enough of an install from CD's to compile a kernel, and then
installing a custom 2.4.20 kernel with e100 built in and using that to do
the rest of the install. More cumbersome than I'd like (and embarrassing,
after bragging to my colleagues about the ease of a debian net install)
but not so bad.
