Never seen that one before I'd guess, first, that it is the via-rhine
driver since the driver printed a line. Try 'modprobe via-rhine' with
your 2.4.x kernel running and see if 'ifconfig -a' lists eth0 as being
available.

However a quick search of Google seems to indicate to me that that the
Macroniz 98715 is (was?) supported by the tulip driver. So give
'modprobe tulip' a shot too. In fact I looked in my kernel source and
the Macronix 98715 does seem to be supported by the tulip driver. Give
it a shot.

Hopefully this will bring a response from some one more knowledgeable
than me.

Good luck!
