I've had preliminary success with this driver- (using it now)- but I only
have a 256Kb/s DSL connection so I'm not pushing it very hard.. no other
machines handy to do throughput testing with.

I'm using kernel 2.4.22-25mdk, and simply applied the forcedeth patch
(v0.18) with  patch -p1 < forcedeth_2_4_patch.txt (from /usr/src/linux),
configured the kernel to build it as a module, built it and loaded it with
insmod.

I'm using a Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP. As I said, not pushing it too hard but it
works so far.

Cheers
