If Linux (kernel-2.2.x) is booted via LOADLIN and Windows98 it is possible that some network cards (e.g. Realtek RTL8029) are no longer detected.
By default Windows98 uses its 'own' IRQ allocation strategies and might try and configure (using non-standard code) other IRQs than the PCI-BIOS is offering. If so, they might not be reset properly during a warm boot (as is done forcibly by LOADLIN).
Turn off the so-called 'IRQ controls' in Windows98 and activate 'Use BIOS'.
Start -> Settings -> System Settings -> System -> Device Manager -> System Components -> PCI-Bus
Then deactivate the box 'Use IRQ Controls' within the register 'IRQ Controls' and activate the box 'Use BIOS' in the register 'Settings'.
