My conf.modules file reads:
Alias eth0 ne
Options ne io=0x300
I know for a fact that you don't need to specify the irq, but I did anyway
and still got no results. I checked /lib/modules/net for the module, and
ne.o is in there. I know it's not the card, because I have had it working
before when I DID set it up during the installation. (this time I didn't set
it up during installation.) This is really starting to bug me, as I have
people waiting for the machine to be up on the network...

Did you set up the card when you installed RedHat? I mean did you specify
the I/O address and the IRQ? Did you compile a new kernel, if so did you
enable ne2000?
First check the file /etc/conf.modules there should be something like this
in the file:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x240 irq=10
If not you might have compiled ne2000 directly in the kernel not as a
module. I do have it compiled directly in the kernel but as far as I
remember the module should be in the directory /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/
and is named ne2000.
This is just a short listing of places to look for since the problem you
described could have quite a lot of causes. I hope this helps you to
narrow it down and let us know more details.
