You shouldn't need to do this with the latest kernel in lenny. I've
just tested it and udev loads the ethernet module automatically.
Please send the output from the following commands:
ls -l /boot
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
udevtest /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx_eth.16

Sounds like your udev is not happy because nslu2-utils uses udev to
automatically turn the leds on and off when devices are plugged into
the USB ports. Please send can you send the output of
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_nslu2-led.rules
so that I can try to figure out what has gone wrong.
Thanks.
