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
