1) Have a look at /proc/interrupts to see what IRQs are already allocated.
2) Then try inserting NE2000 module by hand, and pass on one of the free 
   IRQs as command line option (e.g. depmod ne.o -o irq=10). 
3) Keep an eye on /var/log/messages (or wherever kernel messages go). 
4) Change the IRQ on the command line (step 2), till you don't get any 
   error
5) Step 3 should now contain a reference to the card's IO.


Hope this helps,
