Just to broaden this a little, this seems to apply to more than NE2000 nics.
I've got a smc8013 that I had to move from 280 to 360. In another
machine with a smc8216, we moved from 280 to 320, 360 and 340 didn't
work.

I would suggest if you experience any problems with selective install
and have any network card installed, move your port around.
