You can compile it as a module and use 'modprobe' with options to install
the module at your spesific address.
make config select ne2000 as module,
make dep clean zImage
make modules modules_install
install the kernel as per /usr/src/linux/README
edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect to the image, rerun lilo
reboot make sure you use 'depmod -a' to create the module dependancies, now
use modprobe like; '/sbin/modprobe ne.o io=0x260 irq=5
