Some of the 1.2.13 kernels that are on the various distributions don't have
the ne2000 driver compiled into the kernel. Meaning you have to get a
precompiled kernel off the CD that you *know* has the ne2k support compiled 
in, or better yet - build one yourself.

If the precompiled kernels are supplied with their own individual 
System.map file,  you can check it for things like ne_probe to see
if that kernel has ne2k support built in.
