"grep -rsi 82c168 *" in the 2.4.18 source tree suggests you should try
the tulip driver:


Thanks for the reply. So, I'm not entirely sure what I should do with this information! Should I be able to find the tulip driver listed in modconf then? If so, that confuses me a little since the 3c59x driver is in modconf too, but fails to load.

Pigeon's pointing out that the system is not finding a 3c59x card, but rather a Lite-On 82c168. So you've apparently got two NICs in your box, or you're confused about which NIC you have. To activate the Lite-On, yes, you should be able to find the tulip driver in modconf.
