This is mostly implied by the phrase, "configured incorrectly" (and
by Michael's comment about serial ports), but I want to emphasize that
this problem can be caused by an interrupt conflict (e.g., two boards
configured to use the same IRQ). The NE2000 clone could be configured
correctly, but some other board (possibly the serial port) could be
misconfigured to use the same IRQ.
I know -- I ran into this exact problem a couple of days ago. ;-)
