I have a jumperless NE2000 with DOS configuration software, and a friend
of mine has the configuration software for both a PnP NE2000 and another
jumperless NE2000. Let me know if you'd like to try any of these. One of
the three should be compatible with your card, especially if your card uses
the same chipset as any of these. (I'd tell you what chipset my card(s)
are using, but I really don't feel like cracking open two computers right
now...)

ramified, seaweedy, strange, tangled, torturous, wiggly, wispy, wrinkled,
and the like, can henceforth be approached in rigorous and vigorous
quantitative fashion.
