initrd image is the image of the "Initial RAM disk" which contains 
some of the kernel modules that are necessary to boot up the system,
e.g. some block devices: SCSI drivers, sound card drivers, etc.

As you stated in your past messages, you have built the modules _INTO_
the kernel image, i.e. bzImage.  

If you _do_ want to build them as loadable modules instead, you can do:
    make xconfig     <OR>   make config    <Whatever you want>
  Select the drivers: NE2000 and 3C59x as modules [M] (instead of [Y])
    make modules
    make modules_install   

However, please refer to my last message.  In it, you can find a way
to force the kernel to detect your NE2000.
