This seems to be a pretty comman problem now the ethernet cards
expecially the NE2000.
Did you try compiling the driver into the kernel, no module, and the
add a line to your /etc/lilo.conf like:
image=/boot/linux-2.0.25
label=linux
root=/dev/sda3
read-only
alias=l
append="linux ether=0,0x0220,eth0" <-- add this line, notice
no IRQ, let it find it.
Also if you are using it as a module add a line to your
/etc/conf.modules
# Realtek Card
alias eth0 8390
I'm using this on a RedHat 4.0 system, actually (3) with no problems.
