Try:

insmod 8390
insmod ne2000 io=0x300 irq=10

Would this also work without specifying io?  (Does ne2000 have a default?)


As someone explained recently,
cat /proc/interrupts
will list all interrupts which are not free and if you have by some chance
already used IRQ10 (for sound or scsi) pick something else free.
