Get on a net-connected machine and get the updated 3c59x.c (pointer in the
ethernet howto). Toss it on a floppy, and haul it to your box. Recompile
using the kernel-package package. Toss that on the floppy as well, if you
don't have it.
make-kpkg was nice and simple to use. It was as simple as:
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig (and configure the kernel the way I wanted)
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --zimage -revision custom.1.0
cd ..
dpkg -i <the debian package I just made>
sync;reboot

You installed the manpages package, and presumably groff, but not the man
package? You didn't choose to do that, so, go ahead and install it.
