try to enable pnp in kernel and include in the kernel the driver for
your card (ne2000)

run dmesg and chech in the output if the kernel has detected your card.
If not go to step 2 :-)
compile the support for your card as a module

reboot with your new kernel
use isapnnp to setup your card :-)
(pnpdump > isapnp.conf.sample
copy isapnp.conf.sample in /etc/isapnp.conf
and edit it to suit your needs )
then insmod the module for ne2000 with the parameters for io and int from
the isapnp.conf
and then ifconfig ...

isa-pnp is maybe the module for isa-pnp not for your card
you will have to have a module ne2k i think

ifconfig *doesn't detect*.
ifconfig configures network interfaces and displays information about this
configuration.

man isapnp
man pnpdump
man ifconfig
might help you :-)
