This seems to be typo-ridden....

    ash> You can get get rid of the '(aka "Satan spawn")' bit.

Yes.  That's code for "Chris was here."  Doesn't mean anything to the
kernel.

    shawn> (Not sure about that - is it referring to the i in

Yes.  That's the kernel's way of telling you that it doesn't have an
address for `i' because the module didn't export it.

    shawn> 4) modprobe ne and got:

    shawn> PCI BIOS reports NE 2000 clone at i/o 0x600, irq 11

    ash> Ok,I think you want the /etc/conf.modules:

    ash> alias eth0 ne2k-pci 
    ash> options eth0 io=0x600 irq=11

Looks good to me.
