I already sent a patch for this for 2.5 but I didn't know the problem
also exists in 2.4. The following patch fixes it:

--- linux-2.4.20-test/drivers/net/Makefile.old 2002-11-29 17:46:47.000000000 +0100

Zwane changed this driver to use the MII support library but he
accidentially forgot that this requires mii.o.
