I have a handful of ne2000's that don't do a damn thing either and i've lost the booklets to set their irqs and base addrs. i guess this is a stupid thing to say, but are you sure you have it all set up correctly? and the line in your kernel config? > > Next, I put on 2.2.5 with a 3Com 3C509.

Also are these pnp cards? you might want to disable pnp on these cards. Often I need to do this to get the cards recognized. Also, what does dmesg say?
