If you are using a standardly installed kernel from a distribution install
then possably you will have all that is need to make use of the ne2000
driver.
If you have a file called /lib/modules/2.0.xx/net/ne.o then you have the
module for your ne2000 card. The 2.0.xx is the version number of the kernel
you use.
Now check to see if you have the needed tools.
insmod -V
If that works do;
depmod -a
modprobe ne.o
If this all fails then you have no kernel modules, and will need to revert
to looking for a kernel with support. Or find someone near to you who can
make a kernel for you, he/she could put the image on a floppy and use the
command 'rdev' to set image root device if both your 'root partitions'
vary, if they are both /dev/hda1 for example, then there is no need to use
rdev at all.
I have seen an URL where you can make a kernel and get it by ftp after it is
made, but i cannot remember its URL. However try looking at;
http://www.redhat.com/linux-info
http://www.linuxhq.com
Of course both of those might not have what you want, there just pointers.
