If it is helpful to anyone, I have a working (moderately tested) patch 
of the latest version of the e1000 driver against the latest Fedora 
2.4.22 kernel.  It works for me, though I still have a weird, and 
probably completely unrelated, depmod issue in my kernels built with the 
patch (my kernels are pretty heavily patched, so I'm pretty confident it 
is unrelated).

And if I ever get a new installer image with the driver to work, I'll 
make it available...
