I worked with one of these recently it was a pain in the ass :) I believe the proper way to load the module was to first load the 8390 module first. the mandrake box i was working with did not have the proper dependency information for this module so modprobe wouldn't auto-load 8390. so..try

Actually, I have no problems with a realtek 8029 card; however, I always re-compile the kernel after I get the thing on; that usually gets rid of the unresolved symbols problem... In fact, with all the kernel module(s) I've used, re-compiling the kernel from scratch (including the modules)

No signs of nic when booting, insmod ne2k-pci.o gives me unresolved symbols-error, and ifconfig -yadayada gives me error to the effect that there's no hardware to configure. I have no idea why kmod doesn't insmod your modules automagically. But ne2k-pci depends on 8390 module; so try modprobe

For what it's worth, I am running one of these cards with the driver compiled into 2.2.16, rather than as a module. Here's a snippet from dmesg: ne2k-pci.c:vpre-1.00e 5/27/99 D. Becker/P. Gortmaker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/ne2k-pci.html ne2k-pci.c: PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek
