I'm not certain about this however from memory the Kingston cards say they
are NE2000 compatible but fail to mention that they are also SMC Ethercard
compatible. The difference is that although they both use an IRQ and IO
port address that the Ethercard also uses shared or dual ported memory. If
I remember correctly you should reconfigure the card either with jumper
settings or with the supplied software utility to tell it to only use IRQ
and IO Port addresses. The default settings for an NE2000 card would be
IRQ 3 and IO Port Address 300h It should also do Interrupt 10. Failing
that try using it as an SMC Ehtercard. The reason it works under NT and 95
is probably that you are using the Kingston Supplied Driver and that it
auto detects the correct mode under Windows using Plug and Play. Under
Linux you'll be using a native NE2000 clone driver which won't probe all
of the cards features.
Good Luck, Hope this helps.
