Yea... i nedded to add the following two lines in conf.modules

alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x280

(What this does is pass parameters to the driver(s) when a particular
module is being loaded by the kernel)

And that did it. Now my ISA (YUCK!!!) nic comes up at boot time. 

I think its time to get a PCI NIC!!! (Thanks TOM for your
suggestions!!!!)

I do have one question... how do i manage what modules i want to load at
boot time? I mean how do I tell the kernel to load a particular set of
modules?

Thanks.
