Just looking at that tells me your kernel couldn't have been built completely.
The old tulip.c driver (in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net) references that
symbol too; it should have given you the exact same error shown above.
Looking at the `uname -r` ("2.2.16-3") suggests to me that you got your
kernel pre-built from an RPM. You may have to download source and build
your kernel from that.
