See http://www.scrounge.org/linux/nics.htm

This is a pnp ISA modem.

They say to run install.exe in DOS to disable the PNP mode first.
That program might give you irq and io.  I had a 3com like that where I 
could use DOS to choose irq and io, then use without pnp.  pnp in linux is 
a major nuisance.

insmod ne irq=10 io=0x300 (or whatever the numbers are)

Do you have PCI slots?
