Method I did here for bf24, to get e100 was to install it (if you have
an ide harddisk is fine, otherwise do this on another computer) and
build the modules from source.
(You will need kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4)

Then copy your *.o files onto a floppy (i used vfat as the fs) and then
after the modules have been copied off the cd, just before selecting
modules -- jump into vt-2 (alt+f2) and mount your floppy disk (mount
/floppy).

Then, cd /lib/modules/... until you end up in the right section.
Now we run cp /floppy/x.o
(replace x with the module name)

Then, unmount /floppy and switch back to vt1 (alt+f1) and continue on
with the install as per normal, noting that you can now load that driver
from modconf (the 'module selection' part of the install).
