Which Slackware kernel are you using (or if you compiled your own, how did
you provide for NE2000 support)?
Some pre-compiled Slackware kernels (e.g, bare.i) have NE2000 support
compiled in, while others (e.g., scsi.s) require that it be configured as a
module. The built-ins usually probe successfully for an NE2000 (though your
IO base isn't the usual 0x300, so that might be causing the probe to fail),
while modules usually require you at provide at least the IO base with an
entry like:
modprobe ne io=0x260 irq=0xB
The easiest thing for you to do, I imagine, would be to uncomment the "ne"
line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and fill in the blanks as above.

I assume you meant "does not" above, not "does".
