Actually, I have no problems with a realtek 8029 card; however, I always re-compile the kernel after I get the thing on; that usually gets rid of the unresolved symbols problem... In fact, with all the kernel module(s) I've used, re-compiling the kernel from scratch (including the modules) typically removes all unresolved symbols problems. So, you might want to try that...
As for myself, I typically compile in ne2k-pci into the kernel, rather than as a module; but I must admit I've never had any trouble with it as a module, either. Hope I can be helpful... as I have been using a RealTek 8029-based PCI network card for around 2 years now, with all kinds of kernel versons (yours included, no doubt), I'll be glad to help in any way I can...
