This may be a dumb question, but you have run configure
at boot time after compiling a new kernel? Yes?

I have 2.2.6-Stable running fine with an NE2000 clone, but I
seem to remember having to change its interrupt to IRQ 5
both in the kernel and (using MS-DOS software that
came with the card) and on the card.
