Well, to make a long story boring, Rebuilding the kernel, and
reinstalling the card got me nowhere: I did discover that it is now using
irq
12, although I believe windows did this recently when I reinstalled, but
nothing worked. The following commands produced results.
insmod 8390 (lsmod showed it unused)
insmod ne2k-pci
ifup eth0
Now I can ping myself and my other machine without fuss or hassle, and
thanks
to all who made suggestions along the way. A reboot will kill all that and
I'll have to do it again. It seems to indicate the rest of the stuff was
right.
The problem is that ne2k-pci.o is loading without first loading the 8390
module someone mentioned, so it screws up. I have kernel autoloading of
modules
configured in the kernel, and things like the vfat disks and the cdrom all
work
fine
But how do I get it to load the modules right? :-/
