I'm almost certain this is because your network driver is built as a
module in 2.4.18. Most drivers are modules in 2.4.18 and it works very
nicely once you get used to it. 

Add it to /etc/modules for the next time you boot. Just 'modprobe
<driver>' for now and use ifup/ifdown to see if comes back up. If this
makes no sense to you feel free to ask for details.

Good luck.
