First of the ie0 device is the wrong device for an NE2000. You
should use the ed device below. I copied this directly from
the LINT file. Edit your kernel config file
in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/YOUR_CONFIG_FILE and put a # pound
sign infront of every NIC except ed. Recompile and install
your kernel. Unless you have some freaky revision that isnt
supported this should do the trick.
