Larry,

Do you have the 'option-128' entry still there ?

It isn't clear from your message, but i'm assuming
that you do, because you are at least getting the
8390.o module loading when you only specify NIC=ne

Are you sure the IO address is 0x300 ?  The card can
be set at any one of several addresses.  I've got a
workstation on my network using an NE2000 card, and here
is what I have:

    option option-128     e4:45:74:68:00:00;
    option option-129     "NIC=ne IO=0x340";

So, Double check your settings on the card and in
the dhcpd.conf file.  Maybe you'll spot it.

If not, you know where to find us :)
