There are 2 things that can be happening here. First, tomsrtbt does not
support plug-n-play stuff, it does not include isapnp or pnpdump or
whatever, so, the best way with a pnp card is to use the tools that come
with the card to reprogram its eeprom to be fixed io and fixed irq,
usually possible with a diskette from the manufacturer. Second, there are
a lot of $5 NE2000 clones that are bad and buggy, sometimes you can get
them to work by specifying the io= and irq= at the boot: ether= prompt,
try giving the real true actual io and irq at boot time. There are some
ne2000 clones that just lock tomsrtbt up, I have one here to test with,
but I am hoping that I get tomsrtbt to 2.2.x and that that will prevent
the lockups. Anyway, check if it is a pnp card (either get the pnptools
or reprogram it with the manufacturer's diskette) or is not autoprobed
(specify the port and irq at the ether= boot: command parameter). -Tom
