ISA NE2000 can mean a lot of things... I have NE2Ks with jumpers, with soft programming and PNP. 1. if you have any jumpers on the board, read all the board maybe you find a table with the jumpers 2. look at the biggest chip on the board and do internet searches with substrings of the chip code. Chances are, you will find a DOS program for setting up the IO and IRQ 2.1 alternatively try to insmod ne2k specifying ports between 0x280 and 0x360 3. run pnpdump from isapnp package and see what it discovers. then enable PNP and ISAPNP in kernel (if you use 2.4) florin -- "you have moved your mouse, please reboot to make this change take effect" 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
