I generally get that timeout message if the IRQ is wrong and port/mem
address is right. Judging by your message it's a jumper and not PnP or a
card with NV memory of some sort, so I guess you have that right. 

The link options depend on what media you're having to plug it into. I
must use link2 to get my LinkSys NE2000 clone to talk to 10BaseT. A simple
serious of experiments with ifconfig will tell ya if that's it.
