If you just want to generate packets then try pktgen in Linux-2.4.19:

CONFIG_NET_PKTGEN
This module will inject preconfigured packets, at a configurable
rate, out of a given interface. It is used for network interface
stress testing and performance analysis. If you don't understand
what was just said, you don't need it: say N.

Documentation on how to use the packet generator can be found
at <file:Documentation/networking/pktgen.txt>.

This code is also available as a module called pktgen.o ( = code
which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
whenever you want). If you want to compile it as a module, say M
here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
