Firstly, did you compile ne2000 etc. as modules? If you just answer
`yes' then they aren't modules, they're compiled into the kernel
itself.
Second, you probably want to install the Debian package
`kernel-package'. It lets you make a Debian package of your kernel
and automates installation of it with LILO and onto floppy disks.
