The "ne" module needs another module first called "8390".
I dont know why the dependencies does not resolve...Are they supposed to?
What I do is load 8390 before ne:
# insmod 8390
# insmod ne io=0x300 irq=11
Works for me...how about you?
Other usefull commands are:
"lsmod": lists the modules loaded.
"rmmod modname": removes a module called modname.
Try them out...
