What kind of card is it? PCI or ISA? For PCI, the IO address is
automatically assigned by the BIOS and may differ from slot to slot. You
should not need to run any setup program. And in that case you should
be using the ne2k-pci driver (assuming it's a NE2000 clone), which will
pick up the address from the PCI subsystem automatically.
