First things first thanks to Mary, Dan, CTD & David for their help with this.
I tried the tulip module, which also failed to install.

The error from the tulip module and the eepro100 module is 
"init_module:No such device"

ifconfig does not list eth0 and there is no eth0 in my /dev directory.

Could the problem be that debian doesn't know about the ethernet card? How do I tell 
debian that the card is there and to use it? I'm happy with a dodgy driver for just as 
long as it takes me to

%s/stable/unstable/g in my sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
wherupon I can probably get hold of the e100 driver with the minimum of fuss.

Does that make any sense?
I've just got a sneaking suspicion I could download kernel sources, burn to cd, unpack 
in my debian, compile & install the same and I still won't be able to get onto the 
net. Having said that, I really have no clue.

Thanks again,
Hal
