these modules (or the package they're in) from?
Are you sure about this?
No I'm not sure at all. 8139too and mii are the 2 modules the card uses when
I insert it into the PCMCIA slot of an x86 Debian box. I am just assuming it
IC.
would be the same 2 modules on m68k-amiga?
(Although my driving instructor always used to say, "Never assume anything")
I'm currently cross compiling gcc on my x86 box for m68k target. If the cross
compile works I'm hoping I'll be able to build the Amiga kernel and try a few
different options / modules out.
That won't help for now, as we don't support PCI/CardBus yet on Amiga.
According to drivers/net/Kconfig, this driver is for PCI only?

So your PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter must be a CardBus (PCI PC Card) adapter.
I don't think the Amiga 1200 PCMIA slot hardware actually supports CardBus.
Ah, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardbus, the different notch
prevents you from inserting CardBus cards into 16-bit slots?
Can you actually insert the card in your Amiga (withour forcing :-)?
