To make the NE2000 work, you have to specify the IO-address. There
should be a jumper for this.
You do see the kernel probing for the ne2000? Check with dmesg.
The kernel shipped with bo has ne2000 as a module. Did you install the
ne2000 module during installation? If not, then use modconf as root.

Maybe you first have to assign a IP address to the card (see below). I
also have "alias eth0 ne" in /etc/conf.modules.
My /etc/init.d/network looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 192.168.3.0
Ciao,
