Does it work if you boot with the wrong nic settings and then load the
module with the right parameters? (insmod ne io=0x330).
I also heard about some ISA nics that had to be initialized with a DOS
program provided with the drivers before beeing able to work. If this is
your case, you'll have to boot in DOS, run the program, and then boot
linux with loadlin.
