I got the same error when I installed the RH 5.2 distro. I don't have a
reason as to *why* it happened but I couldn't get it to work during the
install. I corrected it by just  finishing the install and then
recompiling a new kernel with the NE2000 driver (plus other things I
wanted to work) and fired it up, and the NIC worked like a champ. Not the
ideal answer but it works.  Check out the HOW-TO if you have questions re
compiling a kernel.
