ok - now I'm feeling a bit sheepish! I got donald becker's ne2k 
diagnostic utility and tried using it to check my card - which didn't 
come back  with any promising results - after screwing around with a 
bunch of other stuff I decided to try some different io ports and 
found that the io listed in my conf.modules was infact incorrect - 
it's 0x260 not 0x300 as I previously had in there...

strange - may be the linuxconf upgrade had something to do with this 
value being changed? anyway - the card is being recognised now and 
(hopefully) all seems to be happy now... really not too sure why the 
io port was wrong - in my notes I scribbled as I set up the server I 
even have the card listed at 0x300...

very strange... oh well! :)

thanks for reading my ramblings regarding this problem!

cheers, dan.
