Not sure about NetBSD, but in FreeBSD, this is a FAQ, and in 99 % of the cases it's a wrong IRQ. (I think NE2000s don't allow for auto- probing the configured IRQ line.) Definitely the same for NetBSD on any ISA bus machine. Check the setup of your board and compare to what the README file says about the GENERIC kernel's IRQ settings for ed?. You might need to (after installing the kernel sources "ksrc.??") - edit one of the GENERIC kernel description files in /sys/arch/i386/conf - config HOWTHEFILENAMEIS - cd ../compile/HOWTHEFILENAMEIS - make depend && make to produce a new kernel adopted to your IRQ settings. It might be just easier to - boot MS-DOS, start your NE2000 config program (if it is a soft-configured board) - switch off and open the PC and set jumpers (if it is jumper-configured) to make the IRQ/port/mem combination of the board match one of the three of the GENERICxxx kernels.
