from linux-2.4.24/Documentation/Configure.help:
National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet support
CONFIG_NATSEMI
  This driver is for the National Semiconductor DP83810 series,
  which is used in cards from PureData, NetGear, Linksys
  and others, including the 83815 chip.
  More specific information and updates are available from
  <http://www.scyld.com/network/natsemi.html>.

And from linux-2.4.24/drivers/net/Makefile:
 obj-$(CONFIG_NATSEMI) += natsemi.o

So, I suppose the module you're looking for is called
natsemi.o. Is that one available?
