I had a problem like this starting out. I made a bootdisk for dos, got into
the nic's dos config proggy, set it to non PnP mode, and *most importantly* set
the io address to something free. I wrote this address down...

Then i went back into linux (slackware), went into my /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
file, edited a line to say:

/sbin/modprobe ne io=0x240

that's my special case tho, for someone else this would be more appropriate:

/sbin/modprobe ne io=0x[insert your NIC's IO addy here, hope u wrote it down
like I did]

That was it! The dos config addy makes sure the assigned io addy it writes
doesn't conflict with anything. Good luck!
