Using the disk that came with the network card, or opening the box and looking at the jumper sttings on the card, determine the actual IRQ, I/O address, and memory range (if any) for the card. Then boot your system by typing /kernel -c at the boot prompt and modify the board settings. The main problem here is that the proble can return true for partially correct settings. In reality, an NE2000 driver should INB to read the other settings once the I/O port range is known (INB of IOBASE + 2 give IRQ, etc.). beBecause the driver doesn't do this, you will have to determine the card settings in their entirety.
