2 problems:
the ne driver depends on the 8390 driver. Either insmod that first, or
(the more intelligent way) use modprobe instead - it will determine
dependencies for you and install 8390 first.
the 82557 is NOT an ne2000 clone - it's an Intel Etherexpress Pro
10/100 - use the eepro100 driver instead.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
