I'm inclined to sumbit to the expertise of others when choosing kernel  
compilation options, and so I generally boot a recent liveCD and take  
a copy of the kernel .config from there (`zcat /proc/config.gz`)

System Rescue CD uses a kernel of about the same vintage as the one  
you're trying to upgrade to. I suggest you boot with it & see if your  
NIC works. If so, copy the kernel config & `make oldconfig`.
