You'll need to run a 2.4 kernel. While there are patches for 2.2 kernels on the
SF site nobody has tested them for ages and I've no idea whether they work with
newer 2.2 kernels.
Incidentally dnet-common isn't enough to get a running system,
"apt-get dnet-progs" will get you something that is actually useful - provided
you have the kernel support that is...
