I'm not an expert here, but... I noticed that you have irq 10 set aside for
use on the ISA bus. I see that the NIC is set to use that irq. I took the
liberty of marking the parts I read, as you have a lot here to read. Is
the NIC an ISA card? If not, it might be unable to grab the interrupt and
that would keep it failing. You've also asked about adding your card to
conf.modules. It can't hurt :) Hope this helps.
