Module (eepro100) won't install



I just installed woody with the compact kernel (2.2.19) , and the install went
smoothly - my system found my network card (eepro100 driver) and it
worked first time. 

Since I have a two-processor system, I upgraded the kernel to 2-4-14smp,
and everything worked, except the network. I guess 2.2.19-compact has
built-in support for eepro100, but 2.4.14 doesn't. Running 2.4.12, I tried 
insmod eepro100
and it looks like the module installs without errors, but it doesn't 
work and lsmod gives the line

eepro100	(unused)

I also tried to add the line
alias eth0 eepro100
to my /etc/modules - that didn't work either.

Did I miss something in the installation of the module. Do I have to
specify an io address, and if so, how do I do that with insmod?

Thanks for any help,
Lars.
