I'm guessing the module did not load either correctly or at all. Try other modules until you find one that works. IIRC there were two ne2000 drivers in the past, ne2000 and ne2k-pci. I just looked and could not find ne2000 on my system. So if your ne2000 is ISA based, it looks like it's time for you to upgrade your nic. -- Chris Kloiber
