Bringing up 2nd NIC card

[Ken Schweigert]

David,

I believe the correct location is /lib/modules/2.4.10-12a/kernel/net
Right now I only have access to machines running 2.2 kernels, some I'm
kinda going from memory here.

I'd bet that stack overflow resulted in a kernel panic and a reboot.
If it were me, I'd try to compile the module from the kernel source
using 'make menuconfig' then selecting the RealTek option as a module,
quit saving changes, 'make dep' , 'make modules', 'make modules_install'.
That'll build them and put them in the right place.
