You have probably checked this , bu here goes once again.
1. Make sure you have this line in your /etc/module.conf file
alias eth0 ne2k-pci
2. Then do a "depmod -ae" (without the ")
This will correct the depends in the appropriate /lib/modules/(kernel u are
using)/modules.dep file.
3. Check the /lib/modules/(kernel u are running)/modules.dep file,
you can do a search, to insure that the ne2k-pci.o is calling the 8390.o
module.
4. Reboot your machine.
