I've got one of these cards and the relevant bits of my kernel config look
the same.  

The bits of dmesg where its detected should look like:

Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc0290000.
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
[...]
ed1: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on
pci0.20.0
ed1: address 00:48:45:00:89:9d, type NE2000 (16 bit) 
Probing for devices on PCI bus 1:
Probing for PnP devices:
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:

I notice that in your dmesg output there is _no_ probing for devices on
any PCI buses!  That is, the non-detection of your network card is a
symptom of a separate problem.  Note that I've had the card running under
both 3.0 and 3.2 (but skipped past 3.1 :).
