But 2.0.37 has newer drivers than Linus' 2.2 releases ... maybe I should
be using the ac stuff?

2.2.5 won't build with the egcs in potato either. I just manually backed
the stuff out and am in the process of some other testing (NetGear
ethernet and all that rot). I have built a 2.2.5 with the 2.0.37 Initio
drivers but have not tested it yet because the tulip driver is also behind
2.0.37
2.2.5 is the latest kernel but 2.0.37 has the latest hardware support.
