Try moving the 0x280 IO address off the second choice in netcard_portlist[]
__initdata. Move it in the first. It should be something one like this
# You can find this in line 71 of ne.c
static unsigned int netcard_portlist[] __initdata = {
0x280, 0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380, 0
};
I really had a problem with ne2000 when I was still using slackware. I had
to manually edit ne.c and recompile my kernel. But this works fine for me.
Siya nga pala, you can find it under /usr/src/linux/drivers/net.

Yeah, I TOTALLY AGREE with you!!! I think only with ne2000. It's ok with
3com, intel express family.
