A NIC Module call LANCE

Anyone have any success using this NIC module? Having a heck of a time getting an Cabletron E2212 working. Ethernet HOWTO doesn't say a lot about this card type. The Cabletron NIC has a AMD AM79C961AKC chip on it so that puts it's type as a PCNet-ISAII and the AMD Lance driver says it supports this chip. Was reading the /usr/srs/linux/documentation/networking/net-modules on a RH6.2 system looking for the option list of the lance module and it says that the lance driver isn't modulable, not sure what that means, except maybe it's only usable within a kernel compile.
