Every time I've seen this error it's been a problem loading the ne2000
driver or an issue with proper networking support not being in the kernel.
When I upgraded from 2.2.5 to 2.2.10 I had an issue where the network
driver wouldn't load.  When I tried to load the module by hand I got errors
about the module not being able to locate certain kernel functions.  These
kernel functions should have been compiled into the kernel when I selected
ne2000 modular but for some reason they weren't.  I re-compiled the kernel
with the driver in the kernel and it loaded fine.  What I would try is load
the ne2000 module by hand with insmod and see if it loads.  If the module
loads properly then the problem has to be with your network setup.  If it
doesn't we'll go from there.
