As far as NE2000 compatible RTL8019 cards go, they will work reliably when you can set, just as on the original NE2000, the physical parameters via jumpers. None of those settings, I/O port or IRQ however should interfere with PS/2 mouse or keyboard, as you mentioned yourself. It rather seems that this one particular motherboard has issues.
