Select network interfaces and leave the line in for the ie0 driver. Intel provides software to configure their cards (under DOS). Make sure it is set to port 0x300, irq 10, iomem 0xd0000. If you receive any conflicts with these settings, either change the card or the conflicting device, or remove the conflicting device if you don't have it. I assume, btw, you are installing 2.2.x.
