Don't know about documentations, but the default ed0 driver is set for address 280, BUT most NE2000 cards are defaulted to 300. If you reboot the machine, and do boot -c when it says to hi enter to boot kernal you'll go into configuration mode. Just change the default address at that point, quit and it'll boot up. If you then do dmesg |more at the prompt you can find out if the card was initilized or not.
