    I have an ISA NE2000-clone in my machine, and it has worked fine in
    recent 2.1 kernels, including 2.1.83.

    Looking at drivers/net/ne.c, it doesn't probe if compiled as a module,
    and I seem to remember that it once did, so maybe the problem is that
    you need to specify the io ports and irq explitly. I have the
    following lines in my conf.modules:

    alias eth0 ne
    options ne io=0x300 irq=10
