I've done a bit more testing. The problem only occurs if I boot using
'linux26', if I boot using 'linux' the network detection and
configuration work fine. Looking in the syslog for 2.4 I see

In both cases lsmod shows the de4x5 module has been loaded.
I stopped the 2.4 installation when it reached the partitioner as I
didn't want to overwrite my current installation, but I assume it
would work.
