I'm using a CD, which has a complete /lib/modules/2.2.20 tree (and the
installer uses 2.2.20)..the problem is that 2.2.20 doesn't support my
Ethernet Card, and I want to do a network Install.

I've already tried going into the console and manually entering the
proper driver..but the proper driver doesn't exist yet! I know a later
2.4.x kernel will do, i was just hoping that there was a CD install
that uses a precompiled 2.4.x kernel.
