there is a bug in some ne cards

try insmod 8390
then insmod ne io=0x300 irq=9

suplementing 300 for whatever io the card has and 9 for the irq of the
card...

email me if this works and i will show u what lines to insert into the
conf.modules file..

if it is a pci card you need to install a newer kernal
