[Buildroot] Buildroot with 2.4.27 kernel: Network problems

Hi Buildrooters!
I have a bit of an odd problem. I have a ARM-based Linux stereo, which
I've rooted and want to add despotify support to and other things (see
here:
http://simonkagstrom.livejournal.com/51909.html
if you are interested). I'm using buildroot to make my one rootfs for
it. The problem is that it uses a very old kernel, 2.4.27-vrs1, and
while the built buildroot filesystem works, I get problems with network
operations:
g2 trunk 6869 Island:# ping 192.168.1.104
PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 56 data bytes
ping: can't create raw socket: Function not implemented
g2 trunk 6869 Island:# ./busybox telnet localhost
telnet: socket: Function not implemented
and I presume this is because of the kernel version mismatch and
perhaps uClibc. Nslookup also doesn't work
I'm trying to trick buildroot into accepting my 2.4.27 kernel sources
by renaming it linux-2.6.tar.bz2 and hacking a bit, but is so far
unsuccessful. Have anyone else used buildroot with a 2.4 kernel
recently?
