The latest floppy boot image using kernel 2.4.21 and the Busybox 1.0 is
available at http://trinux.sourceforge.net/snaps/

Information on this kernel is available in:
http://trinux.sourceforge.net/kernel/2.4.21/


You have two options, regarding the kernel:

1) Use one of the kernel module packages available in
http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/2.4.21/  - You should use nicmode-l.tgz (kernel
modules that start with "e" to "l") and put it in the kpkg directory on
the boot floppy

2) Download the raw kernel module and put it in the modules directory on
the boot floppy

Modules for this kernel are avaliable in
http://trinux.sf.net/modules/2.4.21/ 

And you probably need
http://trinux.sourceforge.net/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.o

Either way, you'll need to edit \tux\config\modules on the boot floopy
(or edit /etc/tux/config/modules within trinux and the type save-config)
to add eepro100.o to the list of modules.
