I bought one too with a similar intent, though I really needed a machine
to use too. ;-)

I had similar problems too, but I don't remember what config I used.
I wasn't quite as persistent in trying many different configs.

I am using the precompiled ibook kernels from ibooklinux.net, and they
work fine. The 2.4.18-ben0 from there (or ppckernel.org, which I think is
the same thing) works just fine for me. I think the config file is available
there too.

This works fine too on my ibook with the above. I think Ben's tree has
the GMAC driver, though the netinst ISO from cdimage.debian.org which
uses 2.2.20 also detected my ethernet fine and everything worked great.
