Atari needs:
ne (CONFIG_NE2000=m, CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNEC=y, CONFIG_ATARI_ROM_ISA=y)
smc91x (CONFIG_SMC91X=m, CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNAT=y)

smc91x is already included, but the current modules list still contains
atari_ethernec. This one has been superseded by the 'ne' module which is
already built for Amiga anyway. Please remove atari_ethernec.

Note that the config options CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNEC and
CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNAT have to be set in addition to the module options
in order to provide the platform device data for these cards.

There may be other config options that are needed to select the above
network drivers - I can send my .config used on my Falcon in case there
are any doubts.

Atari needs:
falconide (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FALCON_IDE=m) unless it's compiled in.

Cheers,
