This is a result of a bug in the natsemi driver in 2.4.6... I had
that same issue with it... 2.4.5 works fine

Subject: [PLUG] amd potato natsemi blues


    I have an amd computer (a7vl-vm mobo, amd athlon 750)
and I would like to use a national semiconductor
ethernet card (natsemi is the module).  I would like to use
debian-potato on the computer as well.

    I have installed debian on it with no troubles using the 2.2.17
default kernel.  I have had troubles when compiling the new kernel so
I'm going to start over from scratch.

    Question is, what do I need to obtain besides the 2.4.6.deb
kernel image in order to compile and install the proper kernel so I
can use the natsemi module under debian?

    If one is interested, I first compiled a 2.4.6 kernel for a i586.
 It booted properly, but couldn't resolve modules properly.  I edited
the paths in the /etc/modutils/paths file in order to get this
working (probably a mistake). This resulted in a module that said
"something wiked happened" when I tried to use natsemi.

    I recently recompiled for i486. Again the kernel worked, but now
I can't resolve symbols for natsemi when I tried to insmod it.
