I powered off and on and tried again 8390 ne ne2k-pci and got the same 
thing about no useable cards found.
I repeated but did just 8390 and ne2k-pci and it worked this time.
Apparently ne did not work but 'clogged' the card so ne2k-pci could not 
work.

net.i bzImage did not mention ne, just ne2k-pci.

I thought when using ne2k-pci first you had to insmod ne.  Wrong.
Other users said modprobe automatically loads one if you load the other.

My two winbond cards call for:
906  ne (+8390)
940 ne,ne2k-pci (+8390)  - does this mean either ne or ne2k-pci, or both?
I will find out shortly by using net.i bzImage.
