But when rc.inet1 runs, the ethernet modules don't load, and so networking
can't start.

/lib/modules/2.1.13/net/smc-ultra.o: /lib/modules/2.1.13/net/8390.o
...
Furthermore, if I try to load smc-ultra by hand, it doesn't automatically
load 8390, on which it depends. (On checking insmod's manpage, I think
this is a feature; shouldn't it, though?) However, if I start 8390
by hand, followed by smc-ultra, all is well:

two drivers were not modules.

Have I done something wrong here, or is this a bug?
