The best place to start are the DOS packet drivers which are GPL but in 8086 asm. Unlike the rather convoluted SMP aware IRQ driven Linux drivers they implement IRQ based receive notification and blocking transmit in a tiny driver, which is the kind of model needed for a low end CPU and something like ELKS. As a chip it is pretty easy to drive although it is best to debug on an emulator until it works as the real NE2000 has a very antisocial attitude to incorrect I/O accesses (it hangs the machine solid). On top of that you need an implementation of ARP and then the TCP/IP stack.
