I have no idea why kmod doesn't insmod your modules automagically. But ne2k-pci depends on 8390 module; so try modprobe instead of insmod. I have Realtec8029 NIC right now in my computer; and ne2k-pci is compiled as a module. I've never had any problems with this NIC. -- Alexey Vyskubov (at home) Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
