First let me say that I have never used ipcop, but I have
done the "install on another machine" think a few times.  A
lot depends upon how the system installs itself.  If it only 
installs the modules that it needs from the hardware it 
detects then you've got a bit of a problem.

However, if all the kernel drivers are installed then there
shouldn't be a problem.  Take a look in
     /lib/modules/<kernel-version>
it may take a bit of digging to find the correct driver.

I would also recommend pulling the appropriate kernel source.
There is a lot of documentation in their to help find the
driver you're looking for.
