I worked with one of these recently it was a pain in the ass :) I believe the proper way to load the module was to first load the 8390 module first. the mandrake box i was working with did not have the proper dependency information for this module so modprobe wouldn't auto-load 8390.
so..try insmod 8390 insmod ne2k-pci should work :) nate Bob Nielsen wrote: > > For what it's worth, I am running one of these cards with the driver > compiled into 2.2.16, rather than as a module. > > Here's a snippet from dmesg: > > ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D.
