Dear Siddharth,
                append is usually used for detecting a second card
installed, since by default only one card is probed.  Yeah, your second 
option may prove beneficial, if ne2000 support is compiled as a module.


Basically the problem is with the signature as far as I can think of.
I would suggest Darshan to send details of the card.

                He can also have a look at 
                Ethernet-HOWTO, sec 3.3 - Poor NE2000 clones.
                                                                Cheers,
                                                                avi.
