Build it as a module.  Then it's easy to specify commandline options to it
w/o having to reboot.  ISA ne2000 cards *always* need commandline options
with Linux.  build it as a module, boot, then do:

modprobe ne io=0x300

and see if that works.  Try other IOs until you get the right one.  Valid
ranges are 0x280-0x340, in steps of 0x020.
